Description

Sized for a desk

Midi scale sits between tiny microfighters and the huge collector models. The idea is to capture the whole shape of a large ship at a size that fits on a desk or an ordinary shelf. At 423 pieces, set 8099 is big enough to show the layered hull and the command tower, yet compact enough to keep on display without clearing space. Because the focus is on the silhouette, there are no minifigures, and none are needed for the model to look complete.

The Empire's signature ship

Few shapes in film are as recognisable as the Star Destroyer's long triangle. It fills the screen in the opening shot of A New Hope, pursuing Princess Leia's ship above Tatooine, and several of them hunt the Millennium Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back. Throughout the original trilogy it represents the reach and power of the Empire. That clear outline is exactly why the ship works so well at a smaller scale: even a compact version reads instantly.

A calm, symmetrical build

With 94 different part designs across 423 pieces, the inventory is fairly focused. A symmetrical wedge naturally repeats its steps on both sides, so the build has a steady rhythm and is easy to follow. The colours are light and dark bluish grey with white and black, a cool palette that suits the Empire. After display, the grey plates and slopes are among the most versatile parts you can have for spaceships, stations and buildings.

Inventory on this page

Every part in set 8099 is listed below with its colour and quantity. That makes it easy to check a second-hand copy or to spot what is missing if you are rebuilding from a box of loose bricks. When the model eventually comes off the shelf, the What can I build? tool shows which other sets your parts could produce and which pieces you would still need, so the grey hull can become part of something else.
