The only difference is the verniers.

Poe's Boosted X-Wing Fighter from Star Wars Episode 8 - The Last Jedi has been released in 1/72 scale. The runners from the previously released Episode 7 version of Poe's X-Wing Fighter are included as-is, with the boosted accelerator pod and a new clear blue stand added on top — and the price went up by ¥400.

Since the main body itself is the same as before, you really just need to take a good look at the newly added boosted accelerator pod at the rear. The boosted accelerator pod, being a new part, is broken down into quite a few pieces for its size, giving it great depth and detail, and the newly added clear blue stand is a nice touch too. That said, I do wonder why they bothered including the old black stand as well — it would've been better to drop it and bring the price down a bit.

It's a minor variation, but it's still meaningful that Poe's Boosted X-Wing Fighter in the Episode 8 version got a release before the film even opened. :-)
