let me guess...you were impressed by the slow speed, its poor maneuverability, and it's warthog like nickname?

but the render does look very appealing...makes me want to fly the ywing also ^^

lol Only if you believe the specs from the X-wing & T.I.E. "simulators". LFL says otherwise.

It's funny, I remember distinctly my impression of the two starfighters from the time in my youth before the first X-Wing game - and I thought the Y-Wing was fast but weak (you never see them take more than a hit before breaking apart) and the X-Wing was slower but sturdier - and from just watching the movies, there's nothing that would imply anything different than that.

lol Yeah, so true. Especially looking at the size of those massive R200 ion fission engines the Y-wing has.

size matters not...

lol Good call. I knew someone was going to say that.

[MR_T3D]

Methinks it is time to split this thread.

Yeah, your right. We're getting waaay off topic.

Okay, now back on topic. That A4 Y-wing model PWNZ ALL!!!11!1! Are we getting the fully covered "off-the-assembly-line" version redone?

[brandx0]

You know I've already answered this question several times, yes, there will be a panelled version.  If I get asked again, I'm going to say no

[brandx0]

No, but if the redundant questions continue I might fry my brain next time =P

[Vector Leader]

Okay, no more redundant jokes.

Especially not redundant ones.

True, this topic has been asleep for some time, still...

I can find no real visual flaws in the model... it's beautiful. There is ONE minor visual aspect that I would like to inquire of, though: where is the curvature on the canopy where the forward screen meets the entry hatch? This is clearly seen in A New Hope prior to launching the attack on the Death Star.

Care to elaborate?

[Thaeris]

I have not yet bothered to put in the New Hope DVD (and with the DVD release they managed to kill the original trilogy for me... the Special Edition was the best in my opinion) to get a screen capture. But I did get this capture from an old behind-the-scenes pic from a modeling site (which should be attached if it doesn't show up directly on this post). In which, you can [kind of] see the smooth transition from the forward screen to the top of the hatch. I don't believe there's supposed to be a sharp edge on this section of the canopy when viewed from the side... Not important, but I notice things like that on my favorite fighter.

The Y-Wing full size mockup doesn't match up too well with all the rest of the models, of which there are at least 2 additional versions.  I chose to go with the one I had the best references for.

[Thaeris]

Well said!

That's some amazing work. Y-wing is my favorite. X-wing after that then the new E-wing. (the DReim one)
