LOL... too funny!
Actually for my $30,000 I rather buy a 1967 Chevelle Malibu with a 350 and upgrade it to a 396 crate engine, put a oversized 4 barrel edelbrock carb on her, run her through a dyno, shorten the compression ratio and still spend about $15,000 less then a legit 1967 Chevelle SS would cost. You seem to be the guy who would be worried that the VIN isn't for a Chevelle SS, I'm the guy laughing at you in my rear view mirror cause my " Vin # - 350 Malibu" just smoked your "395 SS"
Still want to use car references

I agree with Al , I'm not a model builder, I don't fabricate patterns , I don't take commissions, I'm still learning the basics , I can't use machines, I don't own them , I can't use computers to make detailed drawings , I can't claim to have reinvented old wheels with new materials, I can't even decide on what's the best glue to use cos I don't have enough experience to know so. I tell you this though I'll build slave 1 and if someone as un talented as me can do it then they must be gods cos I'm a hack for using kit parts to help me size the thing I'm creating !!
Thank god I'm not a god as I'm allergic to the arrogance that comes with the position...
Mortals rule , and so dies sticky back plastic and learning, more things I'm proud to still have the opportunity to do .... Must be a mortal thing
I have purchased and built this kit from Ray and I absolutely love it. In fact I recently purchased a second because I liked it so much. It comes in at 27 inches long which I believe is pretty close to the filming models. To be clear. Are all the details accurate to the original Y-wings? No. Ray does not claim it is either. "It is a nice representation." Ray said that most of his influence for this came from Gold Leader or Tie Killer. When you talk details about the filming Y-Wings it gets really tricky because no two were the same. Here are a couple of quick photos of mine compared to a blown up overhead shot of Gold Leader from Lorne Peterson's book. You be the judge:

Wow Guy, If you're just a hack then I'm a pile! I love your work! I am still in aw of your studio scale A-wing and also your work on Slave 1. I know I have a GREAT deal to learn because I have only finished my second star destroyer and snowspeeder and they don't even stand up to the work here. I just have a lot of fun either way! That's what it's all about right! And I happily take all the help I can get!
ive seen that kit come up many times,
there is also this kit - http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=61376 , If I had a choice, I would buy the one from modeler magic site. it has a separate canopy.
