TIE Killer based on DaveG open source

Re: Open source Y-Wing (DaveG)

So what are you going to do about the length Ron? There really doesn't seem like there is a lot you can do without changing the length of the armature.

Yep, I'll just extend it, shouldn't be a problem.


I had to edit this area too 4.45mm

Another small update.



I didn't realize one of the parts had fallen off before I put in rubber, oh well lesson learned, and I purposely left the spots above the otaki P-51struts bare since I don't know what goes there.

Looks Fantastic! Did you have to mod it much to fit into Dave's cockpit? It looks like a good fit from your photo.

Re: Open source Y-Wing (DaveG)

Thanks Mike. I didn't really trim much before molding since its easier/cheaper to do that with a cast so it defiantly needs to be cut down, mostly on the bottom and sides.

This is looking great. Got any updates?

Thanks Jon

Re: Open source Y-Wing (DaveG)

I decide to settle on Tie Killer since it has the most reference other than Red Jammer, I hope to do Triangles someday when more pictures surface of it.

That is coming along very nicely. Excellent work.

Re: Open source Y-Wing (DaveG)

I've managed to get quite a lot done over the last while, waiting on some more kits and some more ID's, there's a ton of parts on Tie Killer and I'm about sick of the Centurion.

Re: Open source Y-Wing (DaveG)

Inspiring!

I never noticed the Heinkel He 177 strut on the top of the neck in the little crevice before until I saw it on yours. Low and behold, there it is when I went and looked at my reference!

Re: Open source Y-Wing (DaveG)

Thanks Mike. Yeah, there is stuff crammed everywhere. There's more on the other side too, it looks like it's the same part that's under the I-19 on the back end.

Edit here's the part.




I don't mean the hose on the left but the piece under it.

Re: Open source Y-Wing (DaveG)

Does anyone have an ID for these that they're willing to share?

Re: Open source Y-Wing (DaveG)

Looks really familiar as in something I built as a kid, civil aircraft undercarriage, Boeing 747?

Boeing 747 by Revell 8.20-ish in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5DCNWR3NE4 front undercarriage - looks about 15-20mm long, is that too small?

Can't find a decent pic of a kit but the 707 looks pretty similar also.
