Red squadron leader Y-wing

Howdy folks! Its been a long time since my last post.

but i do have a treat for you! This is my version of a red Y-wing, its not the imfamous red jammer because it is an MR rebuild and repaint.

I started with a broken Master Replicas y wing and ground off all of the piping and a lot of kit parts, i was going to build  the red jammer, but after all of the reference and phone calls it is now known the MR bird is off so much that this version would have to be scratchbuilt in order to make an accurate version.

Im nearly finished with this bird, i will post pics of the completed ship later this week.

Impressive ... most impressive ... said in best Darth Vader impressionist voice.  Which probably isn't that good.  But that's a fantastic Y-Wing you have there!

Looks good buddy and your work shows!
