Question about red b-wing model played as blue squadron pilot

By settra88, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Ok, a fast one from a newbie.

We all know that in the B-wing pack there is a blue model, but in the rebel aces expansion there is a red ( dagger ) model.

The question is, in tournament, can I play both models as blue squadron or dagger squadron?

Or the red one must be dagger squadron and blue model blue squadron?

Thanks and sorry for the stupid question.

Ale.

Repaints are legal for any pilot. You could paint it neon pink and it'd still be legal as any B-wing so long as you didn't alter the model itself.

The color doesn't matter as long as the ship is the correct type and the ship's token on the base is the correct one.

The correct model is used then it doesn't matter what the paint scheme is.

This has caused an uproar even before the Rebel Aces when you have Interceptors coming in three out-of-the-box paint schemes. You want to see someone's head explode fly Fel in the Red Interceptor, Jax in the basic grey Interceptor, and say an Alpha with the Striped Interceptor; you may have an opponent get very mad at you if they start thinking of the Striped Interceptor as Fel, the Red one as Jax and the basic one as the Alpha.

This only works if your opponent is that into the EU back stories that he'd know the difference and would actually give a hoot. Thankfully none of the guys I normally play with care about such nuances. If it's an Interceptor, it must die is all they care about.

It may also work if they look at the card art and see that the carpet doesn't match the drapes.
