Hey all, Just upon visual inspection I must say that I think the RBR will go down in history as the greatest Lego set ever made available to the public. The scale (it's HUGE!), proportions (correct for once concerning this particular ship design. (...) (23 years ago, 3-Oct-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I thought that was the real reason! ;) The Lucasfilm archive shots of the model show it as white with airbrushed "weathering" of some black paint to give it that "used" effect GL was going for in his universe. Lego was using reference shots (...) (23 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Well to me anyway, when watching the movies, I see the Sandtrooper as white with sand all over. The Corrvettes including the RBR simply look grey, not 'dirty' white. Same with the X-wings. Makes me wonder if your 'brightness' is too high on (...) (23 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Maybe orange is cheaper? I don't know, but I guess it doesn't bother me so much. (...) Well in the case of the RBR maybe they flew thru a meterior storm. And in the case of the X-Wings, they can go astomospheric, so all sorts of alien dust (...) (23 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Yeah I agree - the model is simply stunning. I would've never imagined Lego to sell such a detailed model to the public. But the color is affecting my decision... Since it's white, I'm *planning* on buying one. If it was grey, I'd *definitely* (...) (23 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) I'm with LFB on the Red-vs-Orange. As for Gray-vs-White, I think the RBR is a white spaceship that got dirty. But Lego models don't do very well 'dirty', so they modeled a pristine ship. Then again, I was ticked off when TLC released a *gray* (...) (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Huh? Orange? Check your monitor's color balance. Those engine rings look clearly dark red to me. As far as the rest being white, until that "very light grey" is a standard color, we'll never get a truly accurate scheme. Such is life. best LFB (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.starwars)
