Revell Easy Kit Pocket Star Wars Scale

[pocoloco]

Yup.

It is slightly smaller than the FFG X-Wing game Falcon. I'm using one to convert into a YT-2000 for that game, and according to the Haynes Millennium Falcon Owner's Manual, the size is just right for that. A quick measure confirms that the length of my YT-2000 is spot on in 1/270 scale.

Was thinking about doing the same kind of mod... maybe I now go a different route

Also be wary of the fact that these kits come packaged in different ways, but are still the very same kits, even though they're sometimes priced differently!

And this in the end is what i was really curious about. I know Revell's site had scales but the packaging was different. Just didn't know if they were totally different models or just same models in different packaging material.

I agree on the Snowspeeder - the packaging claims it to be 1/50-something, but the crew are around 1/72ish. Still, stuck on a better stand, it will stand service as a ground attack craft for my 28mm rebels. The crew figure in the Jedi fighter is a bit bigger - just odd that it has no flight stand at all.
I also picked up an attack transport going cheap at Hobbycraft - this one says 1/72 and the crew are smallish for that. However, it's a big piece of kit, so I don't think it will look to out of place dropping off my 28mm power-armoured troops into action.

Some of these kits are available from the works (UK based discount book store).

Yup I posted that weeks ago. I'm also in the process of hacking the falcon up into another correlian YT transport too. Central cockpit on this one.

You mean, like this?

Looks great already.

Nice. Keeping the 1300 drive but the rest is similar.  Shorter cockpit neck though.

I'm not going for 100% screen accuracy but a usable correlianseque frieghter. I will shape the front a bit more though.

Thanks for sharing

The Sith Intruder is almost spot on 1/270. I have one I'm going to paint up and base for XWing when I can be bothered.

Care to post a pic of it with FFG X-wing vessel(s)?

I will be able to, when I get home tonight. My Intruders were heavily modified, but the overall shape and size are still the same...

This is a YT-2000, as featured in the old PC game X-Wing Alliance. I already made the appropriate cards for use in FFG X-Wing too. Still have to play test it though.

This may be of use to you:
