Description
I always thought the post Clone Wars Y-Wings with their skeletal look was a bit silly and difficult to explain ('To increase speed and ease of maintenance'). Usually, you'd want better armor as most of these poor ships get easily wiped out by some of the rare TIE Fighter pilots that can actually hit something. The look from the Clone Wars era is my favorite and yet there are very few Clone War era models of Y-Wings out there as everyone is all giddy about the anorexic Rebellion look. This model is actually two models put together, one missing a texture merged in with one with an incredible texture (including the R2 unit). I spent some time on this one, as the textured model lacked a tailgunner turret (though it had a big round hole in the correct place) so I took the second untextured model, hid all but the tallgunner turret and laser cannons and merged it with the textured one. This is the result. Next I'm going to work on Landing Gear for this model so I can do ground shots. All models were free ones, offered on Thingiverse or Sketchfab, I think, as I lost the source data.
