Alongside the 1/72 Poe's X-wing Fighter. The level of detail really does feel like a scaled-down copy.

The third entry in the Star Wars Vehicle Model series is Poe's X-wing Fighter from Episode VII - The Force Awakens. Compared to the original X-wing, the engine design has been changed, and the molded color comes out jet black, so this is a kit where just slapping on the seals without any panel lining still gives it a solid presence. Scale-wise, it's the same as the previous original X-wing — equivalent to 1/144.

Just like the previous kits, there's a real joy in appreciating the dense detail packed into such a small size, and the wing-folding gimmick is faithfully reproduced just like on the original X-wing. Since panel lining is pretty tough to do on this kit, the fact that you don't really need to grind through that process actually works in its favor (?). For Star Wars fans, this seems like a great kit to build casually with just a quick seal application. :-)
