    1:06: The fact is, the Y-Wings didn’t _lose_ their paneling, so to speak.
    They had sleek cowlings on them, as seen in the Clone Wars and Rebels.
    However, when the Rebel Alliance got their hands on them, they quickly learned that these starfighters were particularly unstable crafts. After every battle, their mechanics had to open up the Y-Wings to make sure nothing was wrong. *They had to.*
    Often, there would be issues with the upper gun, which was often an ion cannon (although it could be replaced with a regular laser cannon), because such weapons are very fragile and easy to misalign. So easy, that sometimes the minimal stress that general space travel put on them was enough to mandate maintenance in order for them to regain their functionality.
    Now, none of these issues would normally be very large, except for those blasted cowlings. They were difficult to remove and replace, and were the topic of many a Rebel mechanic’s afternoon gripe.
    After a while, the Alliance heard their men’s complaints, and ordered that the cowlings be permanently removed on every part of the ship except the cockpit. They left the cowlings on the cockpit because they also served as a sort of armor plating.
    So you see, the Y-Wings didn’t lose their paneling, but merely had them removed to dramatically simplify maintenance.

    that's one awesome Y-Wing
    On a sidenote: R2-D2 enters a Y-Wing from the top. I'm pretty sure I seen a Droid get loaded in a ship from the bottom, but can't remember where, when or what ship.
    Nerd facts: Besides plating (armor), they removed the bubble turret on top and replaced it with ion canons.
    While doing so they shortened the nacelle extensions making the Y-Wings 7,16 meters shorter (resulting in cheaper LEGO sets :D)

    I'd like to add few things, as the author.
    - Please don't try to lift the ship by the head. It will snap off. It is designed to do so, otherwise something would break in the head and would be difficult to fix. As it is now, the head will snap more or less cleanly and should be easy to reattach.
    - The droid comes from the bottom because I wanted that square box around the head... yeah, not sure if it should go from the top or bottom, but this way it was easier. Also - to eject the droid all you need is to press on its head, it will push down the droid arms and actually lock on these, so you can extract the droid from half-hanging position.
    Thanks for great video, I am always waiting for these eagerly. I hope other viewers also like it.
    Cheers!

    okay I see you guys saying this often and finally decided to speak up: the Y-wing you see in A New Hope etc is the BTL-A Y-wing. The version in the Clone Wars is the BTL-B. The original version is older both in our universe and in the Star Wars universe. The rebels were using ships that were that old. They didn't lose their plating; it's a completely different, older model with a different setup. They made improvements to the newer model to have this plating and everything.

    Iirc, originally the Y-Wing squadron was intended to be Red Squadron while the X-Wing squadron was Blue Squadron. This changed after ILM realized that the blue color scheme wouldn’t work for the scene given that the special effects were done using blue screens. Hence why the life-size mockup was originally painted red, with the change to gold happening after construction.

  • @SwiftWind
    @SwiftWind Před 5 lety +1

    To keep my UCS Y-Wing, or source it to build this one? *Sigh*, such a tough decision!
    Excellent work as always Jerac! Have already built 3 of your designs (TIE Fighter, Advanced, and Bomber) and plan to do even more! Love your incredible detail while maintaining good model stability for MOC's. Personally like the brown pipes but feel like there wouldn't be enough color variation in the body to "de-saturate" the brown, if that makes sense. Maybe a different color? Pearl gold maybe? At least for most of the piping minus the parts that don't come in that color, then you could use brown for those.
    What in the world could you possibly do next?! A TIE Droid perhaps? A V-Wing (airspeeder, not the Clone Wars era one)? Personally I would be incredibly excited to see a TIE Hunter, though that might not be possible at that wing size with how small the pivots for the S-Foils would have to be. Maybe a TIE Silencer? Now that would be sick.
    Always excited to see you next creation, and I'm sure I'll end up buying the instructions as well. :)

    Nice model, though I felt from the beginning that somegint looked strange. The detailing around the main body and cockpit is amazing as always, but the nacelles look off. After comparing with some blueprints, I think both the nacelles themselves, as well as the pylons to the aft engine rings, are way too short to be proportionate. They also seem to be slightly too big in terms of diameter.

  • @RojoFern
    @RojoFern Před 3 lety

    I don't think I could call this minifig scale, it's actually overscaled by quite a sizable margin.
    First we must establish how long an in-universe BTL A4 is, which is 16.4 meters. Looking it up on google provides the incorrect 23.4 meters, which is the length of the BTL B, or the clone wars Y-Wing.
    From what I can see it looks like this model is within the realm of 50-60 studs long, so for the purpose of precision I'll guestimate a 55 stud length. A bare bones minifig is roughly five studs tall, which means this Y-Wing has a ratio of 55/5 or 11 to minifigs. Applying the same ratio to the Y-Wing's true length puts a minifig's height in relation to the model at 1.5 meters tall or 4 foot 10 inches, which is a full foot shorter than the US national average height. This means that this Y-Wing model has actually been upscaled by 20%.
    If we are after true minifig scale we can reverse the process starting with setting a minifig's height; 5.9 feet is the average so we'll go with that. The ratio between a Y-Wing and this height is 16.4/7.8 or 9.1. 9.1 times 5 studs gives us a final stud length for a true minifig scale A4 of 46 studs long. Surprisingly this is actually shorter than the 2017 lego set, which has a length of 49 studs. So even the official lego set has been overscaled by a bit! Funny enough, it is actually the 1999 Y-Wing that comes the closest at 45 studs long.
    Applying the same logic to the other three OT fighters, we get these lengths:
    A-Wing RZ-1 - 19 studs
    B-Wing SF-01 - 48 studs
    X-Wing T-65B - 34 studs (ironically also the exact length of 1999 X-Wing)
    Now, of course, this doesn't mean this is a bad model. It's so far from a bad model the measuring tape ran out 10 miles ago. The detail and proportionalities are absolutely immaculate. All I'm saying is that it's a bit big, which is a fine substitue for detail.

      R8ERN8TION52 I would love to see a minifig scaled eta 2, the play set doesn’t do it justice

    Uuh I maybe wrong about this but I think the rebellion intentionally removed the panels near the engines to be fixed faster and I think the caused a lot of drag for the engines

      They did. The ship was also lighter, meaning better acceleration in space.

    That is amazing but guys it would be so cool to make a t 70/75 x wing the y wing engines at the end of the ship would be good for the quad engines you could make it in several colors plus Poe's orange and black with a extra build to make his make shift sunlight engine
