Anakin's Y-Wing - Lego 8037
Another grey/cold/wet winter's day, another build... today's was a second hand version of Anakin's Y-wing fighter ( 8037 ) which came from Ebay. Specifically, from what must be the smokiest home I've ever purchased Lego from. Even after airing it for a week and then cleaning every part thoroughly, it still smells! There were the usual missing bits and part/colour substitutions but nothing I couldn't fix reasonably quickly from spares but I have to say that the pong cast a pall over the entire build process. This is, however, a unique set to date and therefore something to be celebrated. It's also not based on anything from the films so is therefore a bit of a mystery to me. A bit of googling tells me that this is a "BTL-B" variant of the Y-wing and is a heavy fighter/bomber with a crew of two plus astromech droid. And this version is based on Anakin and his apprentice Ahsoka face off against the Malevolence. Here's an image: As such, I think...
