X-wing Fighter

Description

Same numbers, separate record

Collectors often find sets listed more than once, usually because of packaging or distribution differences. For 6963 the catalogue keeps two entries whose year, piece count, element count and colours all match. The data does not say what separates them, so this page simply records the second version. For building purposes the result is the same small X-wing. For anyone keeping a detailed inventory, it is still worth knowing that two entries exist, so a copy can be logged against the right one.

The fighter behind the model

The X-wing is the starfighter that carries Luke Skywalker, with R2-D2 behind him, into the Death Star trench in A New Hope. Later it sinks into a Dagobah swamp in The Empire Strikes Back and joins the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi. That history makes it one of the most recognisable ships in the saga. A micro build like this reduces it to a handful of parts, but the four wings and slim nose still give it away immediately.

Repeated parts, useful stock

Seventeen distinct elements shared across 41 pieces means a fair amount of repetition, which suits a fighter with four matching wings. The main colours listed are white, tan, light bluish grey and dark red. White and grey pieces are the easiest to reuse, while tan is a less typical colour for a starship and handy for scenery. If you take the model apart, you end up with small batches of matching parts that are good for building your own ships.

Checking and rebuilding

The parts list on this page shows each element with its colour and quantity. That makes it easy to check whether a loose copy from a mixed box is complete, and to track down anything that is missing. With your collection saved in Bricoria, the What can I build? tool compares your pieces with other sets. It can reveal that the parts for a second micro ship, or even several, are already sitting in your collection.
