Resistance A-Wing

Description

The colours tell the story

White leads the colour list, followed by dark green, dark bluish grey and light bluish grey. Dark green is an unusual accent among small Star Wars sets and is what sets this model apart from the classic Rebel A-wing. Of the 45 pieces, 25 are distinct elements, a broad selection for a build of this size. For your collection, that adds a useful mix of plain white and grey parts plus some dark green that does not turn up in every set.

From Rebels to Resistance

The A-wing first flew with the Rebel Alliance in Return of the Jedi, where it was known as one of the fastest fighters in the fleet. Decades later in the saga's timeline, the Resistance still relies on the same wedge-shaped design in its fight against the First Order. A-wings appear in both The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. The mini model keeps the familiar flat, pointed hull with two large engines at the rear.

A quick build for newer fans

Anyone who came to Star Wars through the sequel films will recognise this fighter from their own era of the saga. The build is short and simple enough for young children to manage alone, and the finished model is light and easy to fly around. Placed next to a classic mini A-wing, it makes a neat comparison of how the same ship looks decades apart in the story, and it takes up very little room on a desk.

Checking and reusing

Every one of the 25 elements is listed on this page with its colour, number and quantity, so you can quickly confirm that your copy is complete, whether it is freshly built or bought second-hand. It also shows exactly which dark green parts the set contains, useful if you want to reuse them. When the fighter comes apart again, the What can I build? tool compares your parts with other sets and shows which ones you could build now, and which are only a few pieces away from completion.
