Stik-

I know some of the Bandai models have posable parts.  Is that true for the wings of the x-wing?

Yes, the wings are movable/posable. I hope that the base paint locks them in the open position. I had thought about the closed position, but since there is no heat down option on this kit, i went with the open position.

Super job! Looks so good it's a little hard to believe she's only 144th scale though!

Thanks Gamera... I had no idea that they could cram such detail in such a small model.

As Lord Vader would say, “Impressive... most impressive.”

I never realized that the Revell bagged kits looked that good. In my mind I always thought that they were more toylike, without ever having seen one. I guess that it was the packaging. What scale would you guess that they are? 

 

I bought many of those foil bagged Revell kits at a closeout store called Tuesday Morning (named for the day they received their weekly shipments). They were $2.99 and had Anakin's Jedi fighter, Vader's TIE, as well as a few other kits. They were very impressive, pre-decorated, well engineered and sanp tite.

I know Revell also released them in blister packs for around $10 at stores like Walmart.
