The start of my little 501st shelf. All the builds are some form of moc from spare parts.

Edit: thanks to those who commented, I see now that it is based on Rebels A-wing pilots. Still interesting how interchangeable suits and helmets are in the SW universe.

Original Post: So, I get that because of re-using props, and budget restrictions etc, there are some inconsistencies with helmets and flight suits in the on-screen universe.

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 this “A-wing” pilot seems to instead be a combo of B & Y.

Either way I’m happy. Needed a pilot for my BauffmanBricks B-Wing MOC. A quick helmet swap and I’ve got one that looks the part for a lot less $$ than a minty Ten Numb. As a bonus I get a proper helmet for the 75172 Y-wing pilot.

Might be incorrect, but it makes me happier.

Pictured for reference: A, B & Y-wing pilots as they seem correct in my little brain.
