Y-Wing Building

Nice work there Your 3rd link appears to be dead though.
With, I believe, 5 studio models. Each one being just slightly
different, everything is accurate to a point. When you reach
that point, you just have to say to yourself-
"Frak this. I do what I want." :lol

The third link is working ok for me. Give it another try. If others can't access, let me know and I'll re-post.

 

[shrugger]

Nope. "Page not found". :cry

I had an apostrophe in the filename which wasn't allowed :unsure . Try this link.

AhA there it is.

Look closely. You'll find that all three of those kits contain additional parts as well. :love

I'm aware of the many locations up top and along the sides, but this was the first I'd seen anything on the bottom. Did I miss additional locations underneath?

 

[shrugger]

Slight miscomunication possibly. The 3 kits you have in the third pic have more parts
in them than what you've shown in the pic.
Look closely at both engines, both sides of the neck on the 8rad and right behind R2 :love

Here's an interesting picture...

I'm sure most of you Y-Wing experts have seen something like this, but if not I wanted to add a contribtuion.

Thanks guys... I wish I was the one wo tok it. Its from a set a RPF member gave me a few years back. Regrettably, the entire set is of only poor to fair quality, and that tour had models on it I've never seen in person... oh well, at least I have some pics...

I've determined that a 5/16 sized material was likely used for the brass tee used on the engines, but the source I wished to purchase it from has discontinued it (Special Shapes Co.) Has anyone found an alternate supplier or equivilant aluminum part? I'm trying to avoid going plastic if possible.

 

[DARKSIDE72]

It's 1/4" T , special shapes still carry it.

[DeanB]

Yeah, I'm sorry too. I've known about the source for a long time now, but didn't act until it's too late. If anyone has any ideas of alternate sources, product, or spare Special Shapes material, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

There were some pictures posted of the Fujimi 1:76 JAGDPANTHER on the X Wing thread - this kit is also important for the Y Wing (There is a hatch in there, and another part that I just found recently). Note that it is the jagdPANTHER and not the jagdTIGER. It also shows that the "Screamin' Mimi" does not donate the X Wing parts that people previously thought it did.

 

[PHArchivist]

Not sure I've ever seen the forward mounting point before...

 

[ralphee]

I dont think they all had foward mounts, though i could be wrong, but yes the Bill George did for sure.

Anyone have castings of the 1/24 Messerschmitt landing struts? Can I offer a trade or just buy some?
