Description

S-foils that fold into attack position

The four wings fold between closed flight position and the open attack formation seen in the film, alongside retractable landing gear for ground display. The cockpit opens to seat the pilot figure, and a small astromech droid sits on the hull, completing the X-wing's familiar silhouette. Moving features like these aren't a given on Ultimate Collector Series starships, and they turn this model into more than a static display piece. For an Ultimate Collector Series set, this level of movable functionality is a clear step up from purely static shelf models.

Greys with a few sharp accents

The colour scheme follows the film closely: light bluish grey and white dominate the hull, dark bluish grey picks out the engines and panel lines, and black appears on technical details and the cockpit. That restrained palette is typical of Rebel starfighters, in contrast to the often darker Imperial models elsewhere in the collector line. The parts list on this page shows exactly how much of each grey tone and accent colour went into the model.

312 distinct parts for accuracy

With 312 distinct parts, Red Five X-Wing ranks among the more varied models in the Ultimate Collector Series, despite a comparatively moderate total of 1,558 pieces. Much of that variety goes into the moving wing and landing gear mechanisms and the many small greebled details across the hull, which is what gives the model its fine texture up close.

One pilot for the cockpit

The set's single minifigure sits in the cockpit, turning the model into more than a shelf rocket, the canopy opens so the figure can be placed in or removed. Paired with the included display stand, the set works for showing the ship both in closed flight configuration and with wings fully deployed. For fans of the original trilogy, that trench-run scene against the Death Star remains one of the most recognisable moments in the whole saga.
