[MOC] UT-60D U-Wing

[starwarsfan66]

This is a small UT-60D U-wing I designed. It's 736 pieces, so I would say that it is close in size to the official U-wing set from a couple years ago. I wanted to make something that looked really clean and sleek. I tried to get it as accurate as I could as this small scale. 

The cockpit has room for a single pilot, and the seating bay has room for 4 people. There are 4 seats back there, but they can be taken out if need be. The way to access the interior is to simply pull off the long top portion of the model. 

The wings can go all the way into flight mode and back. The only thing is that there is no connection point for the wings to stay put when moving the model around. So when flying it or moving it around, one would have to have a hand next to the wing to stop it from going wherever gravity wants it to. I guess a tiny piece of tape would fix the issue, but for display purposes, I didn't consider it to be a big deal. Because I did kind of intend for this model to be a small display piece or a part of a large moc or diorama.

I also tried switching up the color a bit and using dark blue. I think this color scheme also turned out really well.

I also did make instructions and a parts list for this U-wing model here: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-88721/RendiliBricks/u-wing/#details

Let me know what you all think!

Very nice and sleek, it looks great and the shaping is very accurate.

It looks great! This should be what a $40 set should be like, not a disproportionate TIE Fighter.

It looks awesome! Great build. I like the dark blue version more.
