Product Description

The 1/72 Scale X-Wing Model Kit features the following: adjustable wings, adjustable canopy, seated pilot figure and droid figures complete with interchangeable heads, display mount and boarding ladder parts. The X-Wing kit contains the parts for Red 1, Red 2, Red 3, or Red 5; the kitâs decals designed to indicate a pristine or weathered look. The X-Wing is a standard Rebel Fleet-issue vessel---an answer to the standard TIE Fighter. The X-Wing is built to accommodate a pilot and an astromech droid. The X-Wing features single fire, dual fire or even quad fire capacity. Luke Skywalker made excellent use of the X-Wing during the battle of Yavin: interweaving through random fire of TIE Fighters, Skywalker maneuvered along the trenches of the Death Star, ultimately performing an impossible shot, via an exhaust port, to reach the Death Starâs reactor.

I usually prefer to build larger models, but this kit is so well detailed and accurate (for its size) that I just had to get a few when I saw some built-up examples at my modeling club.

It is "tiny" (1/72 scale, about 5 or 6 inches long when built) but it is a very nice kit and obviously won't take up a lot of space!

Among its virtues are decals for several different ships (Red 2, 3, 5) and a few alternate parts (Fine Molds realized that not all the X-Wings were exactly the same -some parts were slightly different, such as the engine exhausts on Red 2 and the engine inlet covers). Another nice touch was the inclusion of not just an R2 unit, but also an R4 head (just in case you want to build Red 4 or your own variant) and a pilot figure.

When built the wings are positionable and you can build it with the landing gear up or down. A very well designed and executed plastic model kit! (not a toy!)

This scale model, not toy, came together quite nicely for me. Some seam lines were in obvious spots and filler putty had to be applied, but overall the construction was rather easy. You can find english instructions on the web, or you can try and do the japanese ones if you're adventurous. Overall very good model, not a toy.
