Star Wars – Master Replicas – 2006 Studio Scale Y-Wing #0014

When Master Replicas came to the scene, excitement brewed as many amazing studio scale replica miniatures were slated to be released. This model is one of them from 2006, and is #0014 of their release. From Star Wars: A New Hope, the studio scale Y-Wing Fighter! This piece was glorious in it’s day, and continues to be so. I must admit that this model was later re-built and painted by artist Matt Meyer to be Gold Leader from the 1977 film, abandoning this very basic paint scheme Master Replicas released it with. You may view the Gold Leader Replica Photos by Clicking HERE. These photos you see of the Master Replicas Y-Wing Replica were from lighting tests we were doing back in 2007. One thing that always troubled me of this model release is that it had no pilot figure in the enclosed cockpit. Still, I am very pleased it was released. This is how the model looked straight out of the box… with no enhancements whatsoever. This model would eventually go into a collection in Hong Kong, owned by Richard Sung.
