B-Wing Starfighter Reviews
Eurobricks
“If you can live with the limitations of the canopy it's a good model, and worthy of the UCS label. It's a relaxing build, and kept me occupied for several hours. It has a nice mix of parts, and I don't regret purchasing it.”
FBTB
“At first glance, it's as detailed as a flying wing can get and captures the look and feel of the original ship quite successfully. Look a little closer and you'll notice the separating seams, a canopy that you can't even open, and a display stand that has the gun pod... More touching the surface.”
