Y-WING 'Gold Leader' Studio Scale Build by dtssyst

[swgeek]

I've seen those kits listed before but other than the Fujimi parts I can't seem to find anything that works.

I remember when you found the baloon car. Luckily I was able to pick one of those up for not too much.

I haven't built one in a few years, but if I recall most of it is in the trick of how you modify the Sherman bogie to have "winglets" and how you shear off some of its detail to accept the other greeblies.

#17 is AMT 1/25 Checy Tian 90/GMC Astro 95 thanks to Hammer3246 for the ID.

SWGeek - Do you have a part number for the Chevy Titan 90? I just got the kit, and can't seem to find it. Do you know if its from one of the chrome sprues or one of the white sprues? Do you know if it's a part of a larger piece and has been cut off from a major piece so as to appear smaller?

Sorry Studio Kitbash, I don't have a part number but...

Is that Part #13 on the instructions? I know the sprues don't have part numbers, but if you have the instructions that might help triangulate it.

'Transmission Oil Filter' #13.

Not to be confused with 'Air Brake Brackets', also #13.

It seems most of these trucks were not numbered. Just part names.

I don't have that kit. I have the GMC Astro 95. Which for some reason is a different lay out of parts.

'Transmission Oil Filter' #13.

Okay, thanks, Bjorn! That explains my mystery -- the "transmission oil filter" was the part I thought from the instructions, but the kit I got was a "partially" built kit and guess what part was missing? Yup, #13 (among others). Wonder if the Ebayer who sold it to me was also an SS builder...

But if you have the kit, can you post a picture of the part from above?

Sorry gents, I don't have this kit yet I'm afraid. Just working off a digital copy of the instructions and spru pics.

From the GMC Astro 95.

Seeing the above makes me want the part as I've scratch built something in its place.

Anyways... UPDATE

 

[swgeek]

I see the dreaded Sealab yellow. Looking good.

 

[dtssyst]

Thank you.
I have a few other original parts that I wanted to swap out. Unfortunately things started breaking so I stopped.

 

[dtssyst]

Today's update.
A lot more parts compared to the red Jammer and I'm not even done with this side yet. Lol

 

[Jkirkon]

Damn it….now you’re tempting me to pull out and build my Nice-N Y-wing this winter.

Will be Gold 5, one of these days.

You are such a bad influence!

 

[dtssyst]

Do it, you know you want to.
More builds the better.

 

[Studio Kitbash]

Jkirkon,

DO IT. You know you want to!!!

Your builds are awesome, and I for one have never seen an SS Gold 5.

Will send missing greeblies if it incentivizes you...

 

[Jkirkon]

You guys are terrible! Hahahaha!

 

[dtssyst]

Need help on these parts...
I tried to give a different angle to help.
