Just some fun pictures of the complete Y-wing.

and it looks great..(and huge )

now next...I have to do a little trimming to align the engines..on each y wing one engine pod isn't how it should be...so I have to cut a little greebles away so that It can level. (left engine on picture)

When done I can spray paint them.
Bring them back to my work and start with the end greeble-ing.

Looks great. Top details - would like to have on my shelf.
- As far as I know there is a cannon on the top of the cockpit. - I did not see it on your model - did you forget or am I wrong?

that is correct...there is a gun on top..
some where at the beginning of this thread you can see it.
But it is still not glued to cockpit.

today i glued the first batch of greebles on the first y wing..(i took one to work and on is still at home)
it looks nice but it is a big puzzle...just checking what i forgot and try to build it so it fits.

i even glued the spare jerrycan to the ywing :) (second picture)
