{AMRSD} Star wars Y-Wing. WAY to many greebles, 639 parts.

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

So, after seeing Majorjim's awesome snowspeeder, I decided to make my own star wars craft. I present to you...

The Y-Wing fighter-bomber!

The Y-Wing holds one pilot, one gunner in a position behind the cockpit, and one astromech droid. It is armed with 2 forward-mounted laser cannons, along with 2 proton torpedo launchers. The Y-Wing comes with streamlined hull plating, but many people, especially in the rebel alliance, who work on these craft remove the plating from the nacelles and main hull, as it makes it easier to maintain and gives a slight performance improvement. Generally the cockpit plating isn't removed, since the cockpit area needs less repair. The Y-Wing is notoriously slow, but makes up for that with it's heavy armament.

639 parts.

Two thud engines.

Requires infinite fuel.

Now, for some pictures:

This is super well done. It looks awesome. The engines are really cool looking and all the extra stuff for decoration makes it look super legit.

Thanks! The detail stuff was surprisingly easy, the cockpit was the hardest to get right.

I remember my parents bought me one, back in '82. This one is indeed, very well done!

Thanks! I love your stock turboprops!

This looks awesome. However you forgot the Ion cannon turret.

[Majorjim!]

Thanks man, I am very happy to have inspired this craft. You did a good job too!

Thanks! I don't think I did forget it, it isn't a rotating turret, but it's there:

Thanks a lot! Your craft are so great!

[Starwhip]

Wow, this is great! Love the cockpit.

[Mad Rocket Scientist]

Wow, this is great! Love the cockpit.

Thanks! The cockpit needed to be rebuilt a bunch.

That's a great looking craft - you nailed it. I especially like the way it looks painted but it's using stock parts; nice touch. What this game needs is come light speed engines! LOL

Wow , i miss this thread ( shame on me )

Another FUN builder in the place ! That's great !

Congratz , your ship"s got a great looking !

[RixKillian]

Wow, just wow. This is incredible (I think I'll hand my super-detailed thread title over to you )

Nice trick with the structural panels to get it to float (I hope I'm interpreting it right)

Well, your replicas work, plus they don't crash KSP. As to the floating, most of the pics were taken with hack gravity, but for a time I was considering releasing it with a stand.

Thanks, everyone, for the comments and rep!

This is awesome, someone should start a Star Wars showcase thread.

DANGIT! Has everyone forgoten the nice, smooth y wings from long ago...

[Rezolution]

Quite well done. Simply amazing. This must have taken you quite a bit of time to finish.

I can't wait to see, I tried to make this as accurate to the original as possible.

Thanks, and it did take a while to build.

By the smooth ones I think he means the old republic fighter/ground assault spaceship that the y-wing is a stripped down version of. (To necro haters, it's not a necro if it adds to the discussion)
