SOLO surely wasn't killed by TLJ. There were other factors including a massive campaign by so-called "fans".

Very nice MOC! For lighting the tank you could use a single LED with button cell, like a LED-throwie without magnets.

You should have a look at poorly funded military forces around the world and what types of tanks they still use. I'd say the Resistance has to use what it can get it's hands on and if you can't buy PEW PEW, a pew pew is better than no pew at all.

Treat it like a newborn, some collector will pay a fortune in the future ^^

The mandibles are too thin, the way the mandibles protrude from under the fuselage is wrong and the Tile, Round Corner 2 x 2 Macaroni on the mandibles make me really angry and i'm unsure if i like the bricked engine. Yes, cockpit placement and the width and length of the mandibles is much better, but that's it. Especially with a studdy model, i don't mind the gap. It will eventually end up on my shelf, but not without some modifications.

I like the colours and overall shaping of the new Y-Wing very much. Finally something new. My only "issue"...when you look at the cockpit from the side...damn, it's a "Ptheven" ^^

Your end.

Pics/videos suggest you can mount it angled, tried that?

German shop lists it, too.

Say it like Rowan Atkinson does and it gets even funnier.

It looks like an Interceptor with Silencer wings. It differs very much from Vonreg's Interceptor. Never believed it to be a standard Interceptor.

If the next X-Wing looks like new one from Disney Park...sweet.

Given the numbers of shops which don't care, LEGO would need many, many, many sticks. It's just not worth it.
