OK, my turn for an update on my sofubi Y-Wing. I haven't glued it together yet, so this is just a sloppy dry fit. Thus it doesn't look straight. So far I have only glued the nose cannons to the cockpit pod, sensor array domes to the nacelle tips and the engine cans into place, and I have glued the disk vectrals to the support pylons at the ends of the nacelles but I have yet to secure them to the engine pods, which are also not glued to the engine pylons, the fuselage, cockpit, and such.

So what do you think about the pipes? This kit has you furnish your own pipes, so I am using Wave's C-Line copper (brass?) rods. Since some are painting theirs a copper color, I think I might just leave mine unpainted. A viewer on YouTube suggested to me to paint the wires a metallic color for scale, but I think it looks fine as it is. What do you think? They look a bit too shiny since the fluorescent light is shining directly onto them in this picture.

Unfortunately, the cockpit really should have been made of resin. The disk vectrals at the end of the nacelles' support pylons are made of resin, so they could have made the canopy of resin too, I think.

I'll paint the R2 astromech with white trim as well as cockpit instrumentation. The nose cannons, top ion turret, and landing gears are pewter while the nacelle pylons are copper (brass?).
