The older mold AMT X-wing I'm building looks closer to 1/48. I think I read somewhere it's 1/40 or 1/42. Try this site for scales. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but at least he is pretty close. http://www.starwarsmodels.com/models.html clicky!

 I don't think they show my kit on there. Mine's definately not a snap-together and it has no resin parts.

 Edit to add:

 Here's the one I have (this must be where I read it was 1/42), with the 2005 release box cover on the bottom:

I figured that!! I found one but it is in Germany already built. No fun in that.

I guess we will just use what we have. We want to mount it to a stand. What is the best way to drill and mount a rod into the ship? I would think that we would need to insert some type f tube to give it some added support. Don't really know. Just looking for an easier way of doing it. This ship is ready for primer. so I guess now is the time to drill.

Thanks,

Seen one on Ebay a while ago, have you tried Monsters in Motion, or Cult TV man.
