The X-wing and Millenium Falcon I thought were both a light grey or an off
white. The falcon was a variety of patched up colors. The X-wing had some
white in it so I can see your point there. When I heard lego was making an A-
wing I was very excited because I thought to myself more tan and brown
pieces. But of course lego had to screw it up with red and grey (YUCK!).
Just my two cents.
