Millennium Falcon

Description

The fastest hunk of junk

Han Solo's freighter needs little introduction. It carries Luke, Obi-Wan and the droids off Tatooine in A New Hope, escapes the Empire in The Empire Strikes Back and plays a key role at the Death Star in Return of the Jedi. The sequel trilogy brings it back into service, and Solo tells the story of how Han first got his hands on it. That long history is why so many fans want at least one version of it on display.

A surprising colour list

Most people picture the Falcon in pale grey, but the catalogue lists white as the leading colour here, followed by blue, light bluish grey and trans-light blue. That makes this small set a good source of white and blue elements, which are useful in almost any kind of build, from houses to vehicles. Trans-light blue pieces work well for windows, water or glowing engines, so the whole palette is easy to reuse if you part the model out.

Plenty of different shapes

The 32 pieces cover 21 different elements, so almost two thirds of the parts are unique within the set. That is a lot of variety for a micro build and means the steps rarely repeat. Recreating the Falcon's saucer shape and offset cockpit at this scale calls for a mix of parts rather than stacks of identical ones. The build is still very short, and with no minifigures included, every piece goes into the ship.

Parts list and planning

The complete parts list for set 911949 is shown on this page, with each element's colour and quantity. It is useful when checking a second-hand copy or rebuilding the ship from loose parts. Save your sets to the collection and the What can I build? tool will compare your parts with other models. Placed next to a micro Star Destroyer or TIE fighter, this little Falcon quickly becomes part of a pocket-sized Star Wars scene.
