I just built one of these. Easy kit, fun build and nice one doesn't really have to paint anything. Its also really detailed. 1/35 scale is great for the Star Wars fighters. I wound up gluing parts so they would stay in place, particularly the control columns in the cockpit. More sanding, puttying, and painting would turn it into a great model. Here's a couple photos of mine:

I also built the Revell Snap kit of Poe's T-70 X-Wing. Again, it's a nice kit, but for some reason is not scale to the TIE Fighter, coming in at about 1/50 scale. This X-Wing is more to-scale with that other Revell TIE Fighter snaptite kit with the lights and sounds that's available at most major retailers for around $20. Here are some pics of my X-Wing model. Note that the figure is a custom job as the model doesn't come with a pilot.
