Description

Beyond the film classics

The Clone Wars animated series expanded the Republic fleet well beyond the ships seen in the films, and many of those new designs were turned into sets. The Republic Striker Starfighter is one of them. For fans of the series, it is a chance to add something less familiar to a collection that might already include the well-known fighters of the prequel trilogy, and it helps to show just how varied the Republic's forces were during the war.

Two shades of red

Dark red, black, red and white are the main colours. Pairing two reds gives the fighter depth, black adds contrast and white picks out the details. It is an unusual palette for the Republic, and on a shelf full of grey hardware it catches the eye immediately. For builders, it is also a generous source of red and dark red parts, which are useful for sports cars, fire engines, trains and castle roofs.

How it builds

Among the 376 pieces are 114 different part designs. That balance keeps the build easy to follow while still introducing new shapes and techniques along the way, making it a relaxed project for an afternoon. The finished fighter is compact enough to hold comfortably, so it suits play as well as display. With three minifigures included, you can put it straight into action alongside other Republic ships in your collection, or pit it against a Separatist droid fighter or two.
