Pro-Shop X-Wing - COMPLETED - Obscene number of pics

[James Kenobi 1138]

What scale is it ? How does it compare in size/accuracy to the Ertl/ATM kit ?

This should answer that question. From left to right:
1. Crappy, smallest AMT/ERTL
2. Most common sized AMT/ERTL
3. Pro-Shop AMT/ERTL
4. Near-studio-scale

I never knew the Pro-shop was that much bigger. I remember when they came out thinking it was the Ertl/ATM kit with lights and motors, not a new kit.

I might have to dig around for one. I have 3-4 of the Ertl kits unbuilt.

I'm not sure if you've got a white balance issue in your photos or not, but you've got a yellow/green tone in a lot of areas on the X-Wing that's definitely overly so? Is it the photos or?

Which areas, specifically Mike? Let me know, and I can respond accurately as to what colors I used, and how the photos compare to the eye.

The ProShop kit is underated in my opinion. In the size catagory it's a good bit bigger than the biggest AMT kit. The cost can swing to extremes on the Bay because it has lights, sound bites and motors (junk). Detail wise, it's like a blown up regular size AMT. Money for detail was diverted to making the special features it seems. But, with a decent paint job and some parts box detailing, it does builds into a very nice kit I think. For me, I wanted something larger than the standard AMT to practice on before I built my Salzo kit. I picked up two ProShops, built one and gave it away. The other is still in the box.

It's nice to see your Hasbro along side the kits too!

I was also hoping to find them! Hence digging up the thread...

I do have all the pics I took, but don't recall which I posted, and cannot find any of my build process (all the pics I have found are of the completed model).

I'll post a shot or two later this evening when I get home.

Here is my old ProShop build. That's the Moebius Raider next to it to give a sense of how big the ProShop is.
