It is the bigger one that was just released. I have the smaller 1/48th scale one as well along with the Y-Wing and TIE in that same scale Easy-Kit.

How do those ones look? I was thinking of picking up a few of them, especially since they're quite inexpensive.

The X and Y wings are terrific.

Silly question but what do you do to do  the weathering?

Good question, actually. There are a few different ways. I use black paint on a brush and then put it in paint thinner to dilute it down. Then you brush it on, the capillary action pulls the darker contrast into all the seams and makes the details really pop. Then you can use a dry brush with just a bit of paint as well for the darker areas you want to highlight.

Great thanks Bry.
