Are the ships built at minifigure scale?

No. With 53 pieces for two ships, both are small, simplified models, and the set contains no minifigures.

Why does the grey look different from newer sets?

The set uses the older light grey that LEGO® replaced with bluish grey soon afterwards.

Which scene do the ships come from?

The asteroid chase around Geonosis in Attack of the Clones, where Obi-Wan pursues Jango Fett.

Star Wars

Jedi Starfighter & Slave I

This 2003 set squeezes two famous ships from Attack of the Clones into 53 pieces. It is a pocket-sized way to replay the asteroid chase around Geonosis.

Description

Two rivals in one box

Few ship pairings in the prequel era are as memorable as this one. In Attack of the Clones, Obi-Wan Kenobi tracks the bounty hunter Jango Fett to Geonosis, and the two duel through an asteroid field while Slave I drops seismic charges behind it. Set 4487 puts both craft side by side, which gives it a clear purpose beyond simply being a small model. You get the hunter and the hunted together, ready to be flown around the room or posed mid-chase on a shelf.

How far 53 pieces go

Splitting 53 pieces across two ships means each model is tiny and heavily simplified, built to capture a recognisable outline rather than fine detail. What stands out in the data is the number of different elements: 40 of the 53 pieces are unique, so the build hardly repeats itself at all. There are no minifigures, which makes sense at this scale. For a child meeting these ships for the first time the set is easy to follow, and for collectors it fills a small gap in any Episode II display.

Old grey, deep colours

The main colours listed are white, dark red, light grey and dark blue. The light grey here is the older shade used before LEGO® moved to the bluish greys found in almost every set today, and the two tones look noticeably different when placed next to each other. That matters if you are restoring a second-hand copy with newer parts. Dark red and dark blue were far less common at the time, so loose pieces in those colours are also worth keeping safe for other vintage models.

Checking and reusing the parts

The complete inventory of all 53 pieces is listed below. With a set that is more than two decades old, it is the quickest way to find out whether a used copy is complete or which small parts need replacing. If you want to see what else your bricks could turn into, the What can I build? tool compares your collection with other sets. A spread of 40 different elements adds useful variety to that comparison, even though the set itself is small.
