X-Wing Fighter

Description

A shape that survives any scale

Some ships lose their character when they are made small. The X-wing does not. Its four wings, split into an X for combat, are distinctive enough that even a handful of plates and slopes reads instantly as the Rebel fighter. That is one reason it has been built at so many sizes over the years. With 57 pieces, this 2023 version sits firmly at the tiny end, yet the fuselage, cockpit and wing layout are all there, reduced to their essentials.

From Yavin to the Resistance

The X-wing earns its fame in A New Hope, when Luke Skywalker makes his run down the Death Star trench. It returns for the battle over Endor in Return of the Jedi and again, in updated form, with the Resistance in the sequel trilogy. Few ships in the saga have such a long career on screen. A small model like this one is a simple way to have that history on your desk without dedicating a whole shelf to it.

Inside the parts list

White is the leading colour, followed by dark bluish grey, light bluish grey and dark red. Of the 57 pieces, 26 are distinct elements, which means many parts are used more than once, as you would expect for a ship with mirrored wings. The parts list on this page shows each element with colour and quantity. That makes it easy to confirm a copy is complete, or to compare this X-wing with other small versions released in earlier years.

Short build, lasting parts

The build takes only a few minutes, which makes it a good first model for younger fans and a quick break for adults working on larger projects. White and grey parts are also some of the most versatile you can own. When the fighter is eventually taken apart, the pieces fit straight into new designs. The What can I build? feature on this page compares your collection with other sets, showing which ones you could complete right now.
