Master Replicas has released the long awaited Y wing studio scale model from A New Hope! This incredibly detailed replica of the Rebellion's venerable light bomber fighter measures a formidable 27.5 long and will easily become the centerpiece of your Star Wars collection. This is the first time this fighter has ever been released as a high end replica, and is an exact copy of the models used for special effects photography in A New Hope. Y wing replica includes Machined aluminum and brass components Quality resin construction Injection molded details Individual stand and museum quality display base Plaque and certificate of authenticity Prop StoryThe Rebel Y wing starfighter, otherwise known as the Koensayr BTL A4, is one of the oldest and most numerous starfighters in the Rebel Alliance fleet. Over the many years of struggle against the forces of the Empire, this rugged, single pilot craft has well earned its reputation as a solid, reliable workhorse. Maintained by a dedicated band of rebel mechanics, it continues to serve the Rebel cause alongside the newer, sleeker starfighters such as the Incom T 65 X wing. Powered by two ion jet engines, the sixteen meter long Y wing may not be as fast as other fighters in the Alliance forces, but with its onboard astromech droid, complete with navigation computer, the craft is able to navigate single hyperspace jumps with complete safety, adding immensely to its versatility. Equipped with two light ion cannons, two laser cannons, and two proton torpedo launchers this double duty fighterlight bomber carries formidable firepower. Furthermore, deflector shields and its own strong construction mean the Y wing can sustain combat damage that would blow other craft from the stars. And while it may not be as maneuverable as other fighters, tandem long range sensors provide binocular range finding which gives these old war horses superior targeting precision. It is only natural, then, that the starfighters chosen to lead the first attack run on the vulnerable thermal exhaust port of the Death Star were the Y wings of Gold Squadron.
