I was fortunate enough to receive this kit from my brother-in-law last weekend, i have to say that i am absolutely amazed at the detail and engineering.

I built the model as usual,


Then i was inspired by an image i found online...

So i pulled out my spare plastruct stock, and got to building bulkhead structure...

This is going to be sweet! I love the fuselage they designed for the Y-Wings. You'll get the best of both worlds: a smooth, streamlined bird on one side, and one with visible guts and super details on the other!

Attached are some 'references,' not mine.

Thanks for the reference, Mike!

You're welcome. I wish I had more. IIRC, this is from the Clone Wars cartoon series, so there should be some screencaps & whatnot floating around on the web.
 
I was watching an episode of that today and thought it would be cool to see one of those modeled and here I see it.

That looks fantastic.

I agree! I love that you are leaving hatches that open, why waste all that detail.

This is very, very cool.

Superb work! I love it!
