In the movie I only noticed the throw back resistance Blue and White A-Wing ( which was an obvious homage to original Trilogy Sketch Artist Ralph Mcquarrie)....... Little did I know that a rebellion Red version also existed although the red and white markings were inverted in comparison to the ROTJ version..... TLJ version actually looks like Obi Wans Jedi Fighter, in color ,from AOTC. Revell made the Blue and White version model as its standard release in the States but also released the rare Red version ( which I was able to get two of on Amazon ) under their Revell Germany line and actually a bit nicer with a prepainted piloy and a few other upgrades....I built 3 up (I one Blue and 2 Red) weathered and slightly battle damaged ......

 

Here are pics of the two that are ready for action..... The lights and sound feature on these are very nice and these are not as child like toys as the Force Awakens offerings but are more like Styrene kits that happen to have FX.....

Someone got a little post happy.

 

I never knew they made the red version, I built the standard blue and white one, but like the red quite a bit. 

 

Very nice work.

I ended up making several of these and have these two for sale on eBay. There is a buy it now of 97.00 but I have an offer set at 89.00........ The Red one is from Europe and it cost me 45.00 and I reworked both of them heavily..... 89.00 is a fair price for both.
