Y-WING
This is the Fine Molds Y-Wing from Star Wars fame. It is in 1/72nd scale. What a joy it was to build this thing, because I could add all kinds of filth and grime! The cockpit area and engine caps were painted reefer white, while the rest of the body was painted camoflage gray. Color markings are decals provided in the kit. The engine nozzles where painted burnt metal (metallizer) and the exposed engine shaft painted brass. Most of the prominant piping was painted copper. All weathering was done using powdered chalk, dry and sometimes mixed with water. I significantly modified the cockpit by adding bits and pieces from the scrounge box. I added several aerospace ground equipment (AGE) units to the diorama from Hasegawa's excellent 1/72 kit. Somehow, this seemed appropriate.
