Description

Small format, big personality

Microfighters shrink famous Star Wars ships into chunky, cartoon-like versions with room for a single minifigure. The proportions are exaggerated on purpose, so the fun lies in spotting how few parts it takes to capture a familiar silhouette. They are quick to build, sturdy enough to fly around the room and small enough that several can share a shelf. Many fans collect them as a series, lining up heroes and villains side by side in the same playful style, and the U-wing makes a distinctive addition next to the more common fighters.

A ship that carried the rebellion

The U-wing appears in Rogue One as the transport that carries Cassian Andor, Jyn Erso and K-2SO on their missions. During the battle of Scarif, several of them drop Rebel troops onto the beaches before the fight moves to the Imperial archive. Unlike the X-wing, it is a workhorse rather than a dogfighter, and that sets it apart in a collection. Having it in Microfighter form lets you add the ground side of the Rebel Alliance to a line-up otherwise dominated by starfighters.

Colours and parts

Light bluish grey and white make up most of the model, with blue for the classic Rebel markings and dark bluish grey for shading. Among the 108 pieces are 43 unique elements, a solid variety for a build this compact, since Microfighters tend to rely on specialised shapes rather than long runs of basic bricks. The parts list on this page shows every element with colour and quantity, which helps when you are checking a second-hand copy or rebuilding one from a mixed tub of bricks.

What next for the pieces

Once the U-wing has had its turn, the white, grey and blue parts are well suited to your own Rebel-style craft. The ‘What can I build?’ tool compares your collection with other sets and highlights models you can already complete, along with the pieces still needed for the rest. Microfighter parts are often slightly unusual shapes, so they can solve awkward angles in a custom build. Blue is also rarer in Star Wars sets than grey, which makes those accent pieces worth keeping together in their own tray.
