Could someone explain to me how a mostly grey ship with red engines becomes a mostly white model with orange engines? Don't get me wrong I think that is one of the best Lego sets ever. As a RBR it is kind of gaff due to the color scheme though. (...) (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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

(...) If I recall correctly, in ROTJ, you can see an RBR or two in the background when the fighters are zooming through the rebel fleet in preparation for going into hyperspace. ~Grand Admiral Muffin Head (23 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) It's perfectly clear. They were white with red trim. Like most things non-empire, they were all dirtied-up in the movie. Like the X-Wing. And kinda like a Sandtrooper. His armor was white, but in the movie they were all dirty looking. And, (...) (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)

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)

Remember, one should always devalue the information given in SW:EGVV by a goodly amount ... for example, it lists the height of the AT-AT as ~15m, which is much too small to be reconciled with the scenes in the movies [1].
