Description

The Rebels' strangest fighter

Most starfighters in the saga are compact and symmetrical. The B-wing is built around a single long wing with the cockpit at one end and smaller foils branching off, so it looks like a cross from the front and a thin blade from the side. It joins the Rebel fleet at the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi, taking on Imperial ships above the forest moon. On a shelf of X-wings and Y-wings, it immediately stands out.

Engineering an awkward shape

An unusual silhouette needs an unusual parts list. Here 146 different part designs make up 440 pieces, a very high ratio for a model of this size. The build moves from one small assembly to the next with little repetition, and much of the interest lies in seeing how the long, narrow wing and the offset cockpit are held together. Builders who like understanding techniques rather than just following steps will get a lot out of it.

Where the yellow comes in

Light and dark bluish grey and black cover most of the model, and yellow is the fourth main colour. It picks out details and keeps the ship from looking like a single grey mass. Yellow parts are handy later for construction vehicles, hazard markings, lights and the odd splash of colour on a space station. Together with the greys and black, they give you a palette that suits a wide range of sci-fi and industrial builds.

Parts list below

The complete inventory of set 6208 is listed further down, part by part, with colours and quantities. It is useful for checking that a second-hand copy is complete or for tracking down a single missing element. With two minifigures included, the set works for play as well as display. If you own it already, the What can I build? tool shows which other sets your bricks could cover and which parts you would still need to find.
