Description

A shape everyone recognises

Few Imperial ships are as instantly recognisable as the Shuttle, with its three wings that fold up and down on landing. This set captures that shape at handheld scale, using 660 pieces and 200 unique elements to build the fuselage and wings. White, both shades of bluish grey and black make up the colour scheme, matching the cold, clinical paint job the ship wears on screen and giving the finished model an unmistakably Imperial look.

Wings that actually fold

The real shuttle's signature trick is switching between flight and landing configurations: wings flat for flight, the two outer wings folding upward and the lower one downward for landing. This set reproduces that same movement, so once it's built you can actually switch the model between both states rather than settling on one fixed pose. For a set this size, that moving mechanism is a genuine extra over a static display piece.

Three minifigures for an Imperial scene

Three minifigures come with the set, enough to give the shuttle a crew or passengers rather than leaving it as an empty vehicle. That works well for small boarding or arrival scenes, especially alongside other Imperial sets or a makeshift landing platform. If you'd rather display the shuttle purely as a model, the figures can just as easily be left aside, letting the silhouette do the talking on its own. Paired with a small landing platform or other Imperial sets, that's enough to stage a believable arrival or departure scene rather than just a single parked ship.

What's in the parts list

The parts list on this page runs through all 200 unique elements, from the wing hinges to the small greebled detail pieces along the hull. White, black and the two bluish greys mix well with other Imperial-themed sets if you're building out a wider fleet scene with a Star Destroyer or TIE fighters. The folding hinge pieces in particular are worth keeping if you like designing your own starships with moving wings. Used this way, the list works as much as an inspiration source as a build reference.
