I wonder whether the entire troop bay could have been removable from the underside to allow easier access. Technic beams keep it bolted firmly to the fuselage in its current state but I think a deployment function would have been useful. Overall

It was also quite an interesting build, with some interesting techniques to make the fairly large vehicle quite sturdy. The minifig selection is also spot on, reflecting two key locations in the movie (Eadu and Scarif). The UT-60D appears to occupy a major role in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story so I am delighted to be able to confirm that this is an excellent set and I absolutely recommend purchasing it. The minifigure selection is thoroughly impressive and the U-wing is equally satisfying, with some superb play features and an exceptionally accurate design. The face prints resemble Diego Luna very well and feature both smirking and passive expressions. The Dark brown hair is quite generic but it’s the right style for the character and works well. Overall, I would say this figure is a nice version of the character, the leg printing could be executed better nowadays I imagine but for a first version of this costume it’s a strong figure. 8/10The Incom UT-60D U-wing starfighter is more akin to the Republic Gunship in its role as a troop transport and close air support platform than it is to true starfighters like the X-wing and Y-wing. This is reflected in the passenger compartment with swinging doors (with stud-shooter door guns) slung under the vehicle’s main hull. The set doesn’t feature any side builds, it is just the U-wing, and it’s a great recreation of the onscreen ship. The U-wing captures the essence of the vehicles seen in the original trilogy, whilst still bringing something new and original to the table. The LEGO model perfectly replicates this feel. The set is in play scale so it’s a little undersized compared to the scale it should be for minifigure scale, but it is still fairly large and has all the key details which it should have. The next play feature is the pair of spring-loaded shooters on the front of the craft. These are integrated really well as they are activated by pressing down on a pair of buttons on the nose area. If you don’t like them then you can remove them easily or just leave the bolts out. Another feature I touched upon earlier was the door gunner areas in the troop bay. There are 2 stud shooters which can be positioned to shoot out the door if positioned to do so. This is an ok play feature and does match up to what we see in the film, but I don’t like stud shooters in general, so I replaced them with better looking blaster cannons. The engines are probably my least favourite aspect of the model. They are quite similar to the engine nacelles of T-65 X-wing Fighters which makes sense given that both vehicles are manufactured by Incom Corporation and they look great. Unfortunately, each one is only attached using two Technic pins and they feel slightly fragile as a result, although that is not to suggest that they fall off very easily.

Jyn Erso and her strike team are assisted by a group of Rebel Troopers in their mission, one of whom is included here. His helmet is brand new but its shape is familiar, recalling those worn by Rebel Fleet Troopers in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. It matches his detailed torso and leg printing perfectly, with areas of dark bluish grey, dark tan and dark green combining to form a marvellous camouflage design.The model itself is also really cool. I like the size (though I feel it could be a little bigger, given the figures don't quite fit in the bottom hold), and the look couldn't be better. I was also surprised a few times during the build, not realizing how many cool little features this ship holds. The minifigures are also awesome. I'm so glad I have Jyn and Cassian on my shelf now. Rogue One is one of my favourite films in the Star Wars Saga and is easily in my top 3. I recently completed my Rogue One set collection when I was able to acquire this set, LEGO 75155 Rebel U-wing Fighter. The U-wing is one of the best ship designs to come out of the Disney Era of Star Wars due to its interesting appearance and originality factor. The ship is visually like the Y-wings and X-wings we see in the original trilogy and is a sort of mix of both. There are the 4 large engine pods, much like those found on an X-wing and the main body of the craft looks similar to that of a Y-wing. The set captures the look of the onscreen craft remarkably well and the minifigure selection is fantastic too. Jyn is equipped with a satchel as well as a pearl silver pistol and another accessory which is reminiscent of the Z6 riot control baton in 75139 Battle on Takodana. I am not aware that she wields any such weapon in the film but will certainly be looking out for what this could be when the movie is released in December.
