A single pilot, a bubble canopy, a long nose and wings that split into an X for attack: it reads as a fighter rather than a spacecraft, which is the whole reason the trench run felt like a dogfight instead of a physics problem. The design has survived five decades and several sequel trilogies without needing a redesign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe split wings are the reason to build this one. Getting all four to sit at matching angles takes patience and is immediately obvious when it goes wrong. Laser-cut stainless steel, tab-and-slot assembly, no glue or paint. Tweezers and needle-nose pliers recommended. Finishes in bare steel on a stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anyone who still says the noise when the S-foils lock into attack position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLaser-cut steel | No glue required | Age 14+\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metal Earth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49772496584856,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0772\/8381\/9672\/files\/STR95.jpg?v=1788315429","url":"https:\/\/www.cartellgames.com.au\/products\/metal-earth-star-wars-x-wing-starfighter","provider":"Cartell Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
