Nice. I like X-wings.

This is gonna be a fine ship!

Will you build it "as is" or change the colours to make a Ralph McQuarrie style fighter?

I'm just gonna build it as Poe's Blue ship that got blasted in the beginning of TFA... I like that color scheme better than his black and orange .
There is a resin 1/24th scale McQuarrie X-Wing available... but expensive.

This is the one you are talking about (build by Jason Eaton), looks fantastic:

That be's the one... outta my price range.

Even if I had the money, I do not know if I would spend it on a model . I would rather build it from scratch anyway, that is what I love on model making. Finished model is just space eater and dust colector .

It can be done cheaper (sort of, but well, any X-Wing looks cool!).
