"All wings report in. [...] Lock S-foils in attack position. We're passing though the magnetic field. Hold tight! Switch your deflectors on double front. [...] Accelerate to attack speed. This is it, boys!"

This model of a Rebel Alliance Incom T-65B X-wing starfighter was displayed at the entrance to Shizuoka Hobby Square in Shizuoka City, Japan. The single stripe on each wing and the astromech droid R5-K6 suggest this was the fighter flown by Garven Dreis, a former pilot of General Antoc Merrick's Virujansi Rarified Air Cavalry, as Red Leader during the battles of Scarif and Yavin until he was shot down by Darth Vader. After retiring early from acting due to bipolar disorder, Red Leader's actor Drewe Henley ran a bed-and-breakfast in Devon with his wife until his death in 2016 at 76 years old. If only the late Mr. Henley's character could have enjoyed such a long and peaceful life...
