Bandai 1/48 X-Wing

It's been a while since I did any sculpting or kit building. Thought I'd try this X-Wing I'd built but not painted. Weathering is not something I'd ever done before. I might go in with some very specific details later (inspired by people in here), but anyway, here's a couple of quick camera phone pics.

Thanks for the measurement! Now I can see if one of these will fit in my display cabinet.
Does anyone know if Bandai is going to release a 1/48 Y-Wing?

Not likely but I'd be happy to be wrong.

Try their 1/72 Y-Wing, you won't be sorry. One of the best kits I've ever built.
 
Why would you say not likely?
They have released the 1/48 AT-ST and Snowspeeder, both of which would have less demand than a 1/48 Y-Wing imo.
 
There should be plenty of room for a large Y-Wing in the 1:48 X-Wing box, even if they decide to make a lighted version.

Bandai is doing a great job with this License- they have already released a huge number of kits so far. I too have a wish list for further releases but I can wait- I have a good number of their kits still unbuilt...
 
That's a great looking X-wing Alaneye, good job.
The only thing I dislike about the Bandai 1/48 is the stand. It needs a side to side pivot for banking poses. That and it's ugly as sin.

Agreed on the stand, that's one reason I went Fine Molds (Revel rebox) for my 1/48 X-Wing.

The Fine Molds stand itself is a little unique, sorta like a scaffolding but looks good on display me.

Thanks. Yeah, it's a pity you can't bank it, but other than that I don't mind it... I don't look at the stand when I'm looking at the model.
