My inner Ork came out again...though it needs a new paint job.
Left behind a TIE hull and the Y-Wing engines. HHHMMMmmmmmm....
Would also make a nice "counts as" for the new S&V faction.

Where are the engines?

**Riquende**

The Y-TIE was an Ugly starfighter built by replacing the standard engine package of a BTL Y-wing starfighter with the radiator wings and ion engines of a standard TIE/LN starfighter. The laser cannons from the TIE replaced the ion cannons in the Y-wing's turret, and the TIE's sensor package replaced the Y-wing's missing sensor array.

Not entirely clear from the pic, but I guess you could say that the engines were housed in the Y fuselage (after all, a TIE's engines are tiny).

So now you can make a DIE-wing. TIE cockpit with Y wing nacelles

**Ruberu**

That is awesome! I wanted to start making some of the uglies, they are some of my favorite ships, and some of the worst lol.

**Shas'o_Longshot**

If you make the remainder into a DYE-Wing, I would expect you to remove that model as soon as it was attacked, overlapped an obstacle, or attempted any manoeuvre that wasn't straight ahead.

We have to be true to the background

Also, you should really disallow the turret, as you'll blow your own wings off.

**dkellyj**

That's why I cut the fwd panel out. To give the turret a somewhat more realistic arc of fire.

**Eggs**

Does look kind of cool with the panels cut out.
