Looks good to me. PM
Cool. PanthermanLots of Y-Wings! Here is the one I'm building: a soft vinyl ("sofubi") Y-Wing with some resin and metal parts by Argo Nauts.

I think the Y-Wing is perhaps one of my most favourite ships outside of the X-Wing. I'm a big fan of the old X-Wing Alliance PC game (which has had a gorgeous fan-made upgrade in recent years). The Y-Wing in that game handles like a sonofabitch but when you fire link its primary guns with its ion canons it'll blow the crap out of a squad of TIE's without breaking a sweat.Lots of Y-Wings!

Bravo Gary! Looks sweet!!This was a fairly quick build with only 9 steps with approximately 30+ pieces. It's always great building with y'all!!
Maybe the next build could be a rat rod.
Who knows what our next build will be.Stay tuned and, please join in with whatever it may be.
Now on to repairing our fence.. stupid tornado.

Thank you.Bravo Gary! Looks sweet!!
Yes, too quick, but fun. Masking the panels took a little time.Wow, that was a quick build. Pantherman
Very nice, it looks like the cockpit is lit up well. Did you get the LEDs to work properly or is that just good external light source? Either way it turned out very nice and clean.This was a fairly quick build with only 9 steps with approximately 30+ pieces. It's always great building with y'all!!

Thank you. I used a micro LED and that is as good as it gets. If I was able to get 2 LEDs installed I think it would have been better.Very nice, it looks like the cockpit is lit up well.

Guess I should start working on mine. I was cleaning some flashing up last night, I might have a little fight with warped pieces as The MPC Slave I I'm going to do was from 1982 and made here in the USA. But the plastic is thin enough that it shouldn't be much of a problem. Worst case I'm hoping a heat gun will fix anything.
That's right I have heard of that, thanks for the reminder. Also less of a chance of overheating and melting. To this point a little flex and glue has always been enough.Thank you.

Yiu might already know this, but I saw, on YouTube that warped pieces might be straightened by soaking in very hot water. It make them plyable to "fix".
So I have made a start. The first 4 pieces had bad mould pin marks on them so I have started filling before even opening the glue. PanthermanI'm in as haven't done anything sci-fi yet. My kit should arrive Monday. Pantherman

Interesting on the kit I'm working on, that circular piece that goes into the engine is clear plastic instead of gray plastic.So I have made a start. The first 4 pieces had bad mould pin marks on them so I have started filling before even opening the glue. Pantherman

I'm debating on leaving mine clear as the studio scale that was used actually had halogen bulbs mounted in there for the engine burn. I should dig into the 1/72 Fine Mold I have and see how they have that piece.
