    Y-wing fighter —Darren Townsend
   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 that the film model (...) (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

     (...) I know what you mean. I have made a better Y-wing (I think). Find it here: (URL) (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

     (...) I agree, it is a much better y-wing, but your e-wing is great and as for your walkers - brilliant!. Daz (24 years ago, 14-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

     (...) Hmm... I can think of one method that wouldn't be too sturdy... It would require 8 macaroni pieces (4 landspeeder sets). Because macaroni's don't have the tubes underneath, you can angle them 45 degrees off from each other... Hence, the 1st (...) (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

     (...) Yeah, yeah, I'm replying to my own message... Looking at Jay's response, it looks like he did sorta the same thing? Only he covered up the gap between the two 4x4 rounds with 1x2 tiles... cool... DaveE (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)
    
         Re: Y-wing fighter —Jay Cal
     (...) No tiles my fellow AFOL, I used 2x1 plates with one stud on top and the connection in the centre of the circle was made using a 1x1 round plate instead of a lightsabre blade. It proved surprisingly sturdy and completely self supporting (no (...) (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)
   
        Re: Y-wing fighter —Paul Davidson
   I do like the model in that you can modify it to make a fleet of similar but unique Y-wings, like in the actual movie. In the movie (I think--it's definitely in the books), there are even two kinds of Y-wings, a one and a two-seater. I'd like to get (...) (24 years ago, 12-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

        Re: Y-wing fighter —Darren Townsend
   (...) There are 2 common configurations for Y-wings. One has a movable ion cannon which requires a weapons officer, the other has a fixed ion cannon which can be fired by the pilot and hence has only one seat. Daz (24 years ago, 14-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)

   (...) I believe that in the PC game StarWars Rebellion (a turn based kinda game from a few years back) that there was a recon version called the Long Lance or something similar. For game purposes, it was green and white in coloring. I don't have the (...) (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars)
