I think the whole color issue is pretty difficult to deal with in the case of the UCS X-wing. The mini-fig X-wing is easy enough to accept in light grey, but I think a UCS X-wing in all light grey would not look very authentic. I think TLG should (...)

Karim, there are no stickers with the UCS Tie...front "canopy" is pre-printed. Ship detail? Not sure I follow you there, elaborate. (24 years ago, 9-Jul-00, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.starwars)

(...) Oh, and another question about the UCS TIE Interceptor... In the hand-out catalog, the ship details are gray (as I think they are on the box). In the S@H catalog, they are Blue!

(...) That's something I wondered... How come they decided that White was the primary color of the X-wing, when it's really more of an off-white/gray in the movies? White looks a little bit too "clean"... but its not really a gripe, just curious. (...) (24 years ago, 9-Jul-00, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.starwars)

People, I feel I must put my two cents in. First I admit that the UCS X-Wing is a masterpiece, and put my own large scale X-wing to shame...however. Picture this set with a good percentage more light grey pieces (or white), for a more uniform look (...) (24 years ago, 8-Jul-00, to lugnet.reviews, lugnet.starwars)
