Hi together,

just wanted to show the U-Wing of Revel. It is called "build and play", but I do not want to have white pilots for example. So a little bit of colouring and weathering is needed - please see pictures.

In principal I like this fighter too, but I do not like the look if the wings? spread - See picture no. 10

So another picture of the U-Wing and the pictures of the B-Wing (not weathered yet).

I experianced that it is not easy to get the B-wing model of Revell in Europe at a good price.

Nevertheless I think there is a good detailed paper model available in the net.
Search for pictures and follow this one.

Thats it from my side at the moment - will deliver pictures after weathering.

Oh forgot to mention - the cockpit is moveable. So both ways flight modus and fight modus can be shown (see pictures).

Nice U-wing.

Paper B-wing from photo is unfortunately not completed (I think only cabin and engines are finished to download) . You can download finished parts here http://www.zealot.com/resources/b-wing-pod-complete.406/. From what I red somewhere, its designer kind of lost interest after detailed paper B-wing from russian designer came out. Realy great model, I saw it build. But not for free. Only detailed model of B-wing i know of. I bought it recently.

Here is another one, not so detailed model http://www.zealot.com/resources/b-wing-fighter.382/

B-wing is not complete - you are right. The following parts are released.

Does anybody know, whether this model is still in creation or whether the designer stopped working on it.?

The project is on ice for the time being. He might get back to it to finish it but it is unknown WHEN he will be able to do so.

Very nice! BTW, there is a paper U-Wing in the works (not from me, but I can tell you, it is in very good hands and I could not do it any better). If everything proceeds well it will be available in two scales. I'll keep you posted once it is available. ;)

OOOOWWW That sounds GREAT.... I wish I had picked it to work on!..besides the Vorchan..but I finally got the problems with that one cracked it looks like..so have been deleating all old files and starting from scratch ( actually several times) !!

To take a break..have a improved Y-Wing...better that the last..still nightmare conversion to paper, but nice on screen...

A former member had designed a model of the Roger Young and it use to be in the RESOURCE SECTION. When he left, he took the model with him.
I would really like to see this model remade.

Interesting model of Y-wing but not accurate. Most of greebles and details are wrong.

Y-wing is on my ToDo list, right after Tie-Fighter I started to do recently (so hopefuly in a fey years
:)). I have gathered lot of reference materials on Y-wing. Or maybe I can alternate between Tie and Y-wing when one starts to bore me :).

Oh...guess I missed a few wires here and there to be sure... not like I really am worried about it.. I am not really interested that much..just something to play with to relax from other stuff..since I can never STOP doing anything...

I used this image..and went from there...

Just had an idea: Take a boxy Y-Wing card model, cover it with glue, put it into a box with left-over plastic model sprues, shake it - et voilá: perfect Y-Wing piping. ;) :D

I think you are right on the money there!! ;) every version/pix/person has there own idea/ of what an imaginary craft should look like....Not even the Star Wars people themselves are consistent.. I guess we can figure every pilot had to add some more bypass pipes to keep them running!!:)
