Good news for those looking for a 3D printed alternative to the Kettenkrad struts that go around the nacelles. TonyR is offering a set at his Shapeways store. I worked with him on the sizing and I think they look pretty dang good. www.shapeways.com/product/3N4EMMK8E/wing-y-studio-scale-nacelle-arms-set?optionId=61698155

Your build is looking excellent Mike.
The only thing needed to make these parts perfect would be the groove needed to fit it over the tee. Do you think it's possible to ask Tony to add it? The parts are great either way, but it might save some time by not having to file a groove on the bottom.
stunning work Mike , I'll have to get the finger outI've been seeing all these incredible builds in primer and got jealous.:rolleyes Using white resin casts I was really excited to see the detail pop out under primer. Still a long way from calling it done. I still have to locate a few pieces before I'm satisfied and do the lighting. I haven't primed the cockpit or tail shroud yet and need to finish the interior.

Started work on the engine nozzles while I've been waiting for more kit parts to come in. I used Stephan's engine core 3D file and made my own fins. Time to put some greeblies on them.

Look a Y-Wing!

What were the original fins made from , were they fabricated from scratch or did they come from another kit ?
Yea, I realized that after the fact. I will ask him if he's willing. Any way you can grab a quick measurement for me of the thickness of the groove on the T? He will want to know that and I'm not at home.
The tough part about that channel is that it has to be at an angle. I don't know how to specify it without making one though.
Well, if it helps, I Pm'd Dave a while back and he said that he is not doing a 3D printed version.Thanks Tony and Mike! The parts look very accurate.
I'm not sure if I want to or need to wait for Dave's version.
