Description

A ship of the transition

Revenge of the Sith ends with the Clone Wars over and Palpatine in control. The V-wing appears in that closing stretch of the film, a nimble fighter that bridges Republic engineering and the Imperial style that follows. Calling it Imperial in the set name fits that moment. If you like tracing how the look of the fleets changes across the saga, this fighter fills a useful gap between the Clone Wars ships and the TIE fighters of the original trilogy.

Parts and build

The 139 pieces include 57 unique parts, which gives the build more variety than its size suggests. You will not spend long on it, but the steps change often enough to stay engaging. The result is compact and easy to handle, so it works as a toy for younger fans and as a small display piece for collectors. The two minifigures provide a crew, making it simple to set up a scene on a desk or shelf.

Dark tones with a twist

Black is the leading colour, joined by light bluish grey, dark bluish grey and reddish brown. The dark base gives the fighter a stern, Imperial feel. Reddish brown is an unexpected entry for a ship of this kind, and it is one of the details that make the colour data worth a look. The parts list on this page breaks down every element by colour and quantity if you want to see exactly how the palette is spread.

Giving the parts a future

Black and grey pieces are among the easiest to reuse, whether in other starships or in something entirely different. Once the V-wing has had its time on the shelf, the What can I build? tool can show you which other sets you could assemble from your current collection. Small fighters from the same period often share many elements, so the gap to completing another model may be smaller than you expect.
