Hi all! I’ve done a quick rebuild of the new U-Wing set 75399, removing the black 4x10 plate that runs through the centre and rearranging lots of smaller plates to make a new internal structure that’s still strong and swooshable. The U-Wing now has space for two sitting or one sitting and one standing minifigure in the troop bay, plus one sitting pilot (with helmet if you like) in the cockpit. I also move the cockpit forward slightly and made the front edge of the windscreen piece meet the nose area for a cleaner line. This mod is also an alt-build using only the parts from the set! It’s possible to modify the U-Wing without totally disassembling the original set first, but I would recommend taking the centre structure apart completely to get to all those small plates you’ll need during the rebuild. You’ll only need to repurpose two slopes from the engines, and two white 1x3 plates and two white 1x2 plates from the wings, otherwise the engines and wings can be left intact. Free instructions are on Rebrickable. Here's more photos of the modified set along with a couple of renders showing the slight change in shape and extra troop bay capacity.
