Is everything about this Minifig wrong?
BlockTalk Summary
The LEGO Star Wars community is discussing a minifigure's accuracy, specifically an A-wing pilot, and whether its design is a mix of different pilot styles. The original poster, /u/Chuck_was_Innocent, questioned the combination of elements from B-wing and Y-wing pilot designs in the A-wing pilot minifigure.
The post highlights the potential for inaccuracies in LEGO minifigure designs due to prop reuse and budget constraints in the Star Wars universe. The user points out that B-wing pilots typically wear red flight suits, while the helmet on the A-wing pilot minifigure resembles a Y-wing helmet. This combination led the user to believe the minifigure was a hybrid of B-wing and Y-wing pilot designs. However, commenters noted that the minifigure is based on Rebels A-wing pilots.
Despite the potential inaccuracies, the user expressed satisfaction with the minifigure.

The user also saw this as a bonus, as they now have a proper helmet for the 75172 Y-wing pilot.

But correct me if I’m wrong (extremely likely that I am), didn’t B-wing pilots generally wear the red flight suits, and isn’t that a Y-wing helmet? So...
