Y-wing Starfighter measures 17" (43cm) long by 7" (18cm) wide The BTL-B Y-wing starfighter/bomber, was a model of starfighter-bomber produced by Koensayr Manufacturing, the first of the BTL-series Y-wing line. A mainstay of the Republic Navy during the Clone Wars, BTL-Bs were adopted by clones and Jedi officers alike and were instrumental in the fight against the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Though most were scrapped by the Galactic Empire after the conflict, the BTL-Bs were largely remembered positively and their successors, the BTL-A4 Y-wing assault starfighter/bomber, would see service with the Alliance to Restore the Republic decades later in the Galactic Civil War. The BTL-B Y-wing was intended to serve as a combination starfighter and long-range bomber. The two large Koensayr ion jet engines, along with their characteristic nacelles, were carried by a cross wing, which connected to the cockpit module by a central spar. BTL-Bs were equipped with hyperdrives, unlike many other starfighters. This, along with the fuel recycling system present in all BTLs, made Y-wings durable long-range craft, though their tendency to run hot necessitated a complex cooling system extending throughout the ship. The wedge-shape cockpit module carried one pilot and one tailgunner in a rotating bubble turret. These positions were built with clone pilots in mind, though they could be adjusted by mechanics for other operators, including Jedi pilots. The module also featured an astromech socket located directly behind the turret. Please note: The Anakin Skywalker is not the common clone wars minifig that belongs with this set, he is instead from #9494 Anakin's Jedi Interceptor. This Anakin has a duel sided face with sith eyes. He is valued at about $27. Asoka has a crack in her torso and one wrist. The R2-D2 is also a substitute. His head is from the Degobah set and the body is R2-Q2. Check my sellers list for more Lego sets. Buy multiple sets & get a better deal.
