gunpowder Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Heres my SMT Y wing. This kit cost me quite a bit but its been well worth it.. The Y wing is one of my favourites. Its been real fun to build, what with the metal rod bending etc.I thought that the T section parts at the back were gonna be a nightmare to line up but they were fine. A real beautiful kit and i cant wait to paint it, althought i have a bit more work to do before that, then its on to my studio scale Tie interceptor! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Nice job! Yes, I got that beast when it was finally released...STILL have it, in fact....gotta get the right time to build something that big (almost all 1/72 for me). Glad to hear the engines aren't as bad as they seem...that's major comfort to me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEH737 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Speaking of SMT Y Wing - I've got a buddy who'd like to get one. If anyone has a lead - please let me know. Thanks in advance. George Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Hey gunpowder, am I seeing that right, did yours come in red resin? Thought at first it was some extra priming or something....mine came in all-white resin (although admittedly it's a bit vinyl-ish).... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
My_name_1s_MUD Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 (edited) Both of the SMT Y-wings (Generation 1 and Generation 2) came in white resin. The Generation 2 molds were casted in a less shiny, higher quality resin. Looks like you have the Generation 2 kit. There is talk that Fine Molds may come out with a 1/72nd scale... this will be awhile off since they are busy with their MF. There is also talk that JMJModels will do a 1/48 Y-wing after the success of the tie bomber. Finally, there is a Studio Scale Y-wing that may be produced, but it is shrouded in secrecy... I'm guessing the master makers are negotiating a deal. Edited June 9, 2005 by My_name_1s_MUD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
