Description

The Rebellion's fastest ship

The A-wing trades armour and firepower for raw speed. It is smaller than the X-wing and Y-wing, and its flat wedge profile with two big engines at the back is unmistakable. On screen it is best remembered from the space battle over Endor, where Rebel pilots dart between Imperial ships. For a model of this size, getting that silhouette right matters more than anything, and the set concentrates its pieces on the angled hull and engines.

A lot of variety for its size

There are 83 unique parts among the 177 pieces, which is a high ratio for a small set. In practice that means little repetition: slopes, wedge plates, clips and small details follow one another rather than the same brick again and again. The build is still short, but it asks a bit more attention than a basic kit, making it a sensible step up for younger builders who already follow instructions confidently.

Crew and play

Three minifigures come with the set, so there is someone to fly the fighter and a couple of extra figures to build a scene around. The model is compact and light enough to swoop around in play, then park on a shelf beside larger Rebel craft. We do not list the figures by name here, but the parts list on this page shows every element, including minifigure parts, in detail.

White, grey and dark red

White dominates, supported by light bluish grey, dark red and black. The dark red recalls the A-wing's distinctive hull markings, which set it apart from the more muted Rebel fleet. Those white and dark red plates are useful later for your own ship designs with bold stripes. Check What can I build? on this page to find other sets that share much of this inventory. If you plan a custom interceptor of your own, this set gives you a neat starting stock of angled parts and small details to work from.

FAQ

What is the A-wing's role in the films?
It is a fast Rebel interceptor. Its best-known appearance is the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi.
Is this a good set for a younger builder?
Yes, the 177-piece build is short, though its 83 unique parts keep it from being repetitive. It suits children who can already follow instructions on their own.
How many minifigures are included?
The set includes three minifigures. That is generous for a small fighter and leaves room for a pilot plus a supporting scene.
