There is no much choices for the windscreens, so yes, I used the same for the top and the bottom. It was a little bit challenging for the upper one to built the hull around it. Lego used technic beams to link the passenger area to the upper hull, and put this beams in the axis of the ship. This fixation wasn't possible to make something fair. So I use angular plates (see the following picture) and plates that I link to the technic brick of the structure or to other angular plates. It's complicated to explain but that's the basis of the technic, it enables to respect the thin hull and even give slight curve to it with special parts. The result is solid enough I think. I don't remember how many parts I use back from the set but it should be around 200, the whole ship has about 900 parts.

Thanks. I know for the wings, but I wanted to do something "regular", clean. On the original ship, the slight angle of the wings begin at the level of the front hull. To do that, we'll need a plate with a 1 for 12 angle, but we don't have a such element.

Hello everyone, First post on this forum, even if I follow it since a while. So, that's my first real MOC, a minifig scale U-wing. There are some people having done a U-wing since the release of Rogue One. For mine, I try to keep the original proportions right in length, width and height, using the scale 3 stud = 1 meter. The size of the whole ship is about 63cm long, 18cm wide and 7cm high. I think this ship is difficult to realise in minifig scale, because of shape, the windscreens, the slide doors and the interior. There is not so much space to put solid structure elements around the cockpit. I choose to keep some technics and esthetic choices from the original Lego set, as for the wings, the doors and the reactors, even if this ones are to thin compare to the original ship. For reasons of solidity, I linked the reactors of each side together. Without this, the reactors bent too much. I use the same technic than in the Lego set for the doors, but I had a transclear element to be fair to the moovie. The inside. I improvise a little for the shape of bench but i tried to make it not too bulky. The front. I used plates for this part of the hull for a better realism, but this technic could not be apply on the rest of the ship because of a lack of space and solidity. Ten fat minifig can stand on or sit in the cockpit. I used the same element the Lego to link the wing along the main hull. Because of the weigh of this wings, the light grey elements at right help a lot to sustain it. I also hide landing gear in the wing but I didn't any way to add one in the rear of the ship.
