Satya's blog - Bits and engines

The LEGO Y-Wing is bult up in sections, as I've said before. Here's a picture of some of the sections:

You can see the main body in the middle, the engine pods on the left and bottom, the wing struts (for lack of a better term) on either side of the main body, and the nozzles. The engines and struts are identical, not bilaterally symmetrical like you'd expect. That is, there isn't a "left engine" and a "right engine", it could go either way. Later on in the build process detail pieces are added that do make them non-identical. Here's what I'm talking about:

The engines are sitting back-to-back in that picture. You can see from the position of the white bits on the side that they're not identical any more.
