N-1 Starfighter

Description

Two lives of the N-1

The N-1 first appears in The Phantom Menace as the fighter of the Naboo Royal Security Forces. During the battle over Naboo, a young Anakin Skywalker ends up in one and destroys the Trade Federation's droid control ship. Much later, a heavily modified N-1 is rebuilt for Din Djarin in The Book of Boba Fett and goes on to feature in The Mandalorian. The set name alone does not say which of these versions the model follows, but the long, needle-like hull with twin engines is common to both.

Reading the colours

Dark bluish grey and light bluish grey lead the colour list, followed by black and trans-light blue. Notably, yellow does not appear among the main colours, even though it is closely associated with the original Naboo fighters. What you get instead is a mostly neutral set of parts that blends easily with other grey starships. The transparent light blue elements are the exception, and they are among the most useful parts for canopies, lights and engine glow in your own creations.

Build and play

With 43 pieces and 24 different elements, the model offers a fair amount of variety for its size, so the instructions rarely repeat themselves. It is a short build that suits children just starting out as well as adults who want a small ship for a desk. The slim shape takes a little care to line up, but once finished it is easy to hold and fly around. Displayed next to other micro ships from the prequel era, it helps build a small fleet on a single shelf.

Parts at a glance

The parts list on this page shows all 24 elements with colour and quantity. Use it to rebuild the model after it has been taken apart, or to identify a piece that has gone missing and needs replacing. If you are wondering what else your bricks could become, the What can I build? tool compares your collection with other sets and highlights which ones you can complete straight away. Grey plates and slopes like the ones in this set turn up in a great many other ships.
