Post by Medicman71 »

Started a while ago but got stalled out while I was working on the A-10. But now that it's out of the way, we can continue.

So here's where I'm at now. Fuselage is mostly together. Lots of pipes to still go on.

Repainted the yellow striping cause I want to paint them red. Also painted the engine exhausts.

I don't know if this the direction you're going with your Y-Wing, but if it is I hope this helps! Happy Holidays.

I'll be following along for this. The Bandai kits are excellent the side by side of the Bandai vs Fine molds Y-wing the Bandai is the clear winner.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

This does help. Thanks Bruce. I don't know if I can achieve that level of wear/weathering but I'm gonna try.
