Blue 88 signing in.

I am almost done, building my ship and so far it has been fun and it is nice to build SWs that that is not mainly grey.

I will gladly write a review once I am done.

One problem I have is seeing the difference between silver, light bluish grey and dark bluish grey even if I try to refer to the beautiful pictures it is difficult for me.

Does anyone have any tips on how you distinguish between the colors?

You're right, but it's a problem that I usually find in the official set-up manuals. However, the "silver" parts are very small.
I'm glad you're having fun building it and I'm curious to know what you think when it's over.
Thank you

I believe I have all my bricks at this point (and most of the sections are in some degree of assembly, with only the engines completed), but it's unlikely I will finish before I leave for my honeymoon.

Looking good....

@Lahh001 - did you end up doing all new parts? The white looks pretty consistent in the pics and used white is all over the place on the color spectrum!

 

[Lahh001]

And she's finished.  Thanks Mirko for a great design and for sharing this with the community.  It will feel right at home with the rest of UCS collection.

Mostly used parts from my collection.  There are different shades of white, in some places, when you get close up, but i think that adds to the effect, since in the film the U-Wing had seen better days!

That's so nice. It's lovely to see these start appearing in the wild!

Unfortunately I could not build the structure and the engine section, 2 lots are missing! I think I screwed up one of the many orders! So I have to wait until next week!
