Let me EGG-splain "Y".

Looks alright? Little over sized to try and keep the toon feel, but maybe coulda went with some fatter guns?

Except for them few chips here and there, I'll be chunkin' some paint before too much longer.

I'm not dead set on what color to designate this thing, but since it's an egg, I been thinkin' something wild?

Ok, I did somethin'...

I added them chips I been sayin' I was gonna. All these started out as .010" sheet styrene that I scraped and sanded and it still looks a little thick on this little ol' model, so I reckon it is what it is. Don't look too bad and I'll sand 'em down a little before squirtin' paint.

I also added them roll bars.

One looks crooked in that picture, don't it? It don't look exactly like that in my hand, but I may have to pry on that a little bit. It's real steel wire and don't just pry that easy, but I don't like that crook.

I can't think of much more I wanted to do, so it's windin' up now.

Just when you think you are done, a small detail will emerge. Before you know it 3 hours have gone by.....

Lookin' good Eagle
 
Just a small update...

As I say, I also post most everything here at the RPF also. What started out as kidding has gone the other way.

The color that is WAY ahead in the poll is Hugger Orange!

As it stands right now, I plan on putting orange stripes on this thing.

It won't look too bad!

Orange applied.

It tries to smear, so I gotta stop touching it, but I don't think it looks bad.

How's it look?

Looks alright so far? Don't hold back just to save my fragile feelings.

Thank you DT!

There's a couple of stripes on all the Y-Wings I've found to copy, so I may go with a brown as the secondary stripe? That secondary color seems to be the one they used for the canopy too, so that all may get a dark tan/brown of some sort?

I would like to match this color, but I don't know how close I can get.

Maybe a little darker tan-ish.
