X-Wing

Description

Red Squadron's workhorse

Across the original trilogy, the X-wing is the fighter the Rebel Alliance relies on most. Pilots of Red Squadron fly it against the first Death Star in A New Hope, and X-wings are back in the fleet for the final battle over Endor in Return of the Jedi. Its four wings, locked open into an X for combat, make it easy to recognise from almost any angle. That is exactly why small versions work so well: even with only 60 pieces, the shape still says X-wing.

Colours and parts

Light bluish grey leads the colour list, followed by white and dark bluish grey, with trans-orange parts providing the brightest contrast. The 60 pieces include 28 distinct elements, so roughly half of the parts appear more than once, which is natural for a ship with mirrored wings. There are no minifigures. The parts list on this page shows every element with colour and quantity, which makes it simple to check whether a copy is complete or to spot where this version differs from other mini X-wings.

Quick to build, easy to keep

The build takes only a few minutes, so it suits younger fans as well as adults looking for a short break from larger projects. Once finished, the ship is small enough to sit on a monitor stand or a bookshelf without getting in the way. Collectors who already own several mini X-wings from different years may find it interesting to line them up, since each version solves the same shape with a slightly different selection of parts.

Parts with a second life

Grey and white elements are among the most useful colours for building spacecraft of your own. If you take the X-wing apart later, its pieces slot straight into a general collection. The What can I build? tool on this page checks what you own against other sets and shows which ones you could already complete. It is a practical way to find out what a handful of small sets adds up to when you combine them.
