Mini X-Wing Fighter

Description

Same ship, many versions

Few vehicles have been built as small models as often as the X-wing. Each version works within a similar budget of around sixty pieces, yet the details change from one to the next: the way the wings are attached, how the nose tapers, where the engines sit. This 2019 edition is another entry in that long line. If you own several, comparing them side by side is a quick lesson in how designers adapt a familiar shape with slightly different parts.

Colours and counts

Light bluish grey tops the colour list, with white and dark bluish grey close behind and trans-orange adding a few bright touches. That combination matches the worn, pale look of Rebel fighters in the original trilogy. Out of 60 pieces, 27 are distinct elements, so a good number of parts are repeated across the mirrored wings. There are no minifigures in the set. The parts list on this page gives the colour, number and quantity of every element.

The ship behind the model

Within the saga, the X-wing is the fighter that destroys the first Death Star in A New Hope and returns for the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi. Pilots such as Luke Skywalker and Wedge Antilles made it the symbol of the Rebel Alliance. Its four wings, spread into an X for combat, are the feature any small model has to get right, and this one keeps them clearly recognisable despite its size.

For quick builders

A build of 60 pieces suits children and adults alike, whether as a first Star Wars set or a short break from something larger. Once finished, it sits neatly on a desk, and its parts are easy to reuse later, since grey and white are among the most versatile colours for spacecraft of your own. The What can I build? tool on this page compares your collection with other sets and shows which ones you could already complete and which need only a few more parts.
