Fine Molds announces 1/48 scale X-Wing!

I am looking forward to this one. I been wanting a 1/48 scale X-Wing for a while now. Hope they do all the fighters as well...Y-Wing, A-Wing, B-Wing, Tie fighter, Tie bomber, Tie Intercepter, Vader's Tie, Jedi Star Fighters, extra extra.

Now a 1/48 scale Falcon? Even if you were able to afford it...where would you put it? But since we are talking big....how about a 1/48 scale Star Destoryer? Just kinding.

I just spent the day at the show today, and the link originally posted by me indicated it was the 1/48 kit, but is in fact a pre-painted semi-assembled 1/35 model that is tooled by Fine Molds and sold by Kotobukiya as a series of "trading figure" models. You buy it a piece at a time, and put it all together.

Saw the actual Fine Molds 1/48 X-Wing today too, and it is indeed nice.
It's going to be a snap-together kit, but don't let the stigma that usually goes with that description fool you: the detail is as sharp as you'd expect from FM. There will also be a choice of peel-off stick-n markings and standard water-slide markings, to appeal to a wider modeling audience.

Saw the Y-Wing today, too....MAGNIFICENT!!! Much larger than I thought it would be, too.

a 1/48 falcon would be like $500   but i do hope they do all the fighters too

This is FANTASTIC news!!! Hopefully they will do both scales. I don't know how realistic it is, but I for one, would love to see the Millennium Falcon done in 1/48 scale. Perhaps this time using the 5' Original Falcon as reference. That 1/48 X-Wing is looookin beautifull!
