Description

Build and features

The hull follows the ship's familiar on-screen silhouette: two long engine pods, a slim cockpit section and the wing-mounted Y shape the model takes its name from. Colours are dominated by Light Bluish Gray and Dark Bluish Gray, with white panels and yellow accents on the engines and markings. The wings fold up for landing mode, the cockpit opens to seat the pilot, and there's a socket behind the canopy for an astromech droid. Moving laser cannons and a bomb bay round out the play features.

Minifigures and accessories

The 5 minifigures include Rebel pilots and ground crew, fitted out with flight helmets, suits and blasters. The parts list on this page shows exactly which prints, headgear and accessories are included, so individual figures can be rebuilt or mixed with pieces from other sets. Anyone hunting for a specific Star Wars character or astromech droid piece will find it easier to check the individual line items first. With several Star Wars sets sharing similar figures, checking the line items first helps avoid buying duplicates.

Building experience

With 215 unique parts, the Y-Wing offers a varied build that moves between simple repeated sections on the engine pods and more technical work around the cockpit and folding wing mechanism. The model's symmetrical layout means many steps repeat, so progress is visible quickly – a good fit for fans who want a solid, sturdy replica of the film ship without an overly complicated build. The finished model also fits well on a shelf alongside other Star Wars ships from the same scale.

Parts for other projects

The full parts list on this page shows every element with its colour and quantity, handy if a piece goes missing or is needed for a separate build in grey and yellow tones. The many wedges, tiles and Technic connectors in Light Bluish Gray work well in other spacecraft or vehicle builds, while the yellow accent pieces suit markings and detailing on original creations.
