Hi,
I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before, but why is the Y-wing (in the
Y/Tie set) taken from the original McQuarrie concept drawings and not from
the actual model used for the films? The main differences between the 2 are

pylons on the ion engines are at 45,135,225 and 315 degrees on the film
model as opposed to 0,90,180 and 270 deg on the concept. Can anyone see a
way of rotating the engines thru 45 degrees in order to achieve the correct
look?
Cheers
Daz
