I took a break from the Y-Wing to take advantage of the good weather to do some painting on another project, but I'm back at it again this weekend.
I was surprised to discover that after all that work completed last time, there were still panels that needed to be removed, including all of the patch panels on the canopy. The good news about the canopy is that only one panel needed to be added near the front.
However, after adding all of the patch panels to the top of the forward section, I was surprised to discover just how many of them there were.
I studied several reference photos, but only two, high-res photos were really useful. Most of the reference photos don't clearly show the shadowy lines of the raised panels, so that makes this part of the project difficult:
Coming up, adding patch panels to the sides and underside of the forward section.
