Description

What you get in 80 pieces

This is a small build, and that is its charm. At 80 pieces you can finish it in a single short sitting, with no long instruction booklet to wade through. The challenge for the designer is capturing the Batwing's silhouette with very few elements, and the result shows how much character a handful of well-chosen bricks can carry. There are no minifigures in the box, so the model is meant to be displayed or swooshed around the room by hand. Anyone who collects Batman vehicles gets a compact version that fits into any display cabinet.

A night-sky palette

The colours are exactly what you would expect for Gotham: black, light bluish grey and dark bluish grey dominate, with trans-yellow providing the only splash of brightness. If you collect greys, the set is a tidy little sample of two shades that often get mixed up. It also sits comfortably beside other dark vehicles and spacecraft, so it will not look out of place on a shelf full of black and grey models. That is how the model stays convincing and individual despite its size, rather than feeling like a mere shrunken copy.

31 different elements

Of the 80 pieces, 31 are different elements, which tells you that many parts appear only once or twice. Wings, cockpit and body are made from carefully picked shapes rather than endless repeats of one brick. That makes the set interesting for tinkerers, since individual special parts can be reused later in your own aircraft or spaceship designs. For anyone short on dark bricks, it is a handy small top-up. The parts list on this page shows exactly which shapes these are and which colours they come in.

Display it, or take it apart

Built, the Mini Batwing works as a shelf decoration or as a sidekick to a bigger Batman scene. If you decide to dismantle it, the complete parts list is on this page, and the “What can I build?” tool can show which other models your bricks will make. A small set then becomes a starter pack for your own ideas that call for dark pieces. That is especially handy if, once it is built, you fancy making your own variations of the aircraft.
