I would say you got a pretty good deal. I sell a lot of SW kits on ebay and those kits would run you at least $15 + S/H if sold individualy. Good score. Wink [;)]

Nice one there. If you want you can drill out the guns, but as for the rest of it, allow for its age, paint nuild and weather to hell, I love that kit real prize.

No point in measuring up to some reference, its probably all over the gaff, but to me it looks great.

 Sorry with the flash on the box I thought it was the B-wing only, The Tie- interceptor it cool too, the X-wing is muck, but I'd pay 20 alone for the B-wing.

The ad didnt say the scale, do you guys know what scale they are? 

From what im hearing, it sounds like I made out like a fat rat.  Honestly, the new kits are really nice, but there not as fun as the old ones, they take so much more elbow grease, plus, theres to much 'oh no, I hope I dont screw it up" when you pay 50$ for a kit, compared to 5+shippin

X-Wing is the original snap kit pure crap.... about 1/80 somethingish........

B-Wing is about 1/96 maybe smaller but still a big enough kit, its a big ship.

Can't really remember the Tie, but she is the biggest on scale probably 1/64, or bigger, patience will bring her up nicely, try a dark blue grey and maybe a humbrol gunmetal metallic for the panels , they are very well done.

Scale?  Heheh, "box scale."  The closest I can figure is about 1:48 for the Interceptor, about 1:72 for the X-Wing, and about 1:144 for the B-Wing.
