Your choice of aircraft doesn't exactly match the compaired characteristics of the SW fighters. Here's how I'd have done it :
A-wing : Spit Vb / P-40b
B-wing : Any Allied fighter with bombs from before 1941.
Y-Wing : Hurricane IIb
X-Wing : Spit I / P-36
Z-95 : Gladiator / Hurricane I
TIE Fighter : I-153
TIE Interceptor : I-16
TIE Bomber : Il-2 early single seat
TIE Defender : Lagg-3 / early Mig 3
(alternatively, but not as good IMO, equivalent Japanese types :
Ki-27 / A5M Claude
Ki-43
D3A Val (ok rear gunner but...)
A6M2 )
There's much more difference in performance between 1940s planes than there are between SW space ships (long time Rogue Squadron, X Wing vs TIE Fighter and X-Wing alliance experience speaking) so you need to keep the planes selection in a pretty narrow timeline. Besides you need to reflect the fact that :
-Empire uses green lasers, Rebel Alliance uses red ones.
-TIE Fighters have poor armour and great manoevrability.
-TIE Bomber has a limited bombload capacity and no rear gunner.
-The Y-Wing is first and foremost a fighter, used in the attack role becase it's already an aging type by the time of the Battle of Yavin (Clone Wars type). Bombload is also pretty limited.
-B-Wing must be the most advanced plane in the Alliance but not be as good a fighter as the X and A Wings.
-Z-95 is a relic from the Clone Wars but very comparable to the TIE Fighters.
-TIE Interceptor is just a faster, better armed version of the TIE Fighter.
-The X-wing is the symbol of desperate resistance and a iconic plane of the Rebellion. So are the Spit I for the RAF (BoB) and P-36 for the USAAF (Pearl )
And a number of other things... The Millenium Falcon can only be a twin-engined with defensive guns, excellent speed and above average manoevrability for its class. A Beaufighter X or Dinah would be perfect.
But yeah, good luck with finding someone to help you with this.
