Looks like you borrowed quite a lot of ideas from Jeracs X wing moc. Looks very similar actually.

Agreed, just like the TIE Fighter. :) Some parts have been improved while for others I prefer Jeracs. Nice job though! :)

Well, obviously an X-wing is an X-wing and cannot be anything else than an X-wing

What I mean to say is that there are so many cool LEGO X-wings to be found on the internet (and not just only Jerac's which is cool) it's pretty much impossible to build a 'new' X-wing at this scale.

 

Well, maybe. But Jerac managed to build a new X wing at this scale. And to be honest, yours looks like a very lightly modded version of his moc, as did the tie fighter. Personally, I think you should credit him, but what do I know? I’m sure you put a lot of work into it and this style of x wing is a really nice looking one.

Hey guys, please check his flicker, what this guy is capable to build!
Yes it looks pretty much like Jerac's, but if he says it's not a direct copy I'm sure we can trust him!

But it is. I mean, you only have to look at them side by side to see they look practically identical. It doesn’t take much effort. I’m not disputing he can create wonderful original creations of his own, just disputing that this is one of them. And you need to be acting wilfully blind not to see it. But anyway, it’s just my opinion. And it’s still a nice looking X wing.

Those brick-built wing stripes are ingenious.

Inthert's was built before Jerac's, so you can go back and forth on credit all day long. 

Looks great, especially the wings. 

[Cylo]

Looks great! Do you have a pic of the underside?

Well, I did. :D
Aside from wings and engines which are pretty darn impossible to innovate on, and believe me, I tried. 

As for crediting, it is nice, but is it mandatory? I believe it is best to leave it for the author to decide. After all, the line between "mod" and "new" is a blurry one and what might be "new" to somebody is just a "mod" to someone else. Personally, if a build of mine would not happen without build of somebody else - like Atlas, Cehnot and Inthert whose builds I deeply investigated before designing my own x-wing platform - then I credit them.

its really interesting to see how this model has been iterated on over the years. the current generation is probably my favorite lego model.

[m4st3rt3ch]

I like it. I think the only way to a really new and/or better X-Wing at this size is new parts.

[Sucram]

I'm really liking this one, and I've seen a lot of X wings. Unfortunately the best I can do is modding the official set but that's more than enough for me

[cehnot]

Another file I will be saving for my revamped x-wing. I may be stealing  the side panel idea and somehow incorporate it into my 2.0 model.

Hi..thank you for your mocs!!! Is there a problem with the rebrickable page? The page could not be found

Thank you very much! That's right. I deactivated this MOC on Rebrickable by request of BrickVault. The 3D model is no longer publicly available.

 

I do see some similarities between yours and Jerac's, the guns, and engines for example, but the fuselage looks notably different (his design looks better in some areas and your's in other places).  

Though, I suppose I understand their means to capitalize on their X-Wing (and X-Wing MOCs in general) by avoiding anything to deter potential buyers, with a very similar product available by another party. 

So… 

 

Anyway, the striping on the wings look the finest I ever saw on a LEGO X-Wing—it cannot get better than this!

Glad I got my hands on this smashing little beast when I did then!

Speaking from experience in building an X-wing, the outsides can look very similar but the shaping internal structure can very quite a bit, so you can't really tell easily how similar models are unless you look at the insides too. On my X-wing I used a very different, Technic based skeleton compared to most other folks, though the outside looks relatively similar.
