X-Wing Fighter      (1:112)

Star Wars Jedi: The Light Side of the Force fights as a rebellion with X-Wing spaceships.

The new Star Wars plastic model kits for gluing and painting now offer model fans aged 10 and up even more crafting fun.

This is the Rebel Alliance's most important fighter and one of the most powerful single-seat Star Wars starships ever produced. The T-65 X-wing fighter gets its name from its stacked dual wings, which form an X in combat missions to increase the pilot's firing range. In addition to four high-end laser cannons, the X-wing fighter has proton torpedoes, deflector shields, hyperdrive and a navigation droid. Luke Skywalker favored this type of fighter. It was used by the young Jedi to destroy the first Death Star in the Battle of Yavin. The X-wing fighter quickly proved to be one of the most effective military vehicles in the galaxy. The T-65's unusual wing design is often credited as the starship's recipe for success. The dual pairs of wings remain closed during normal flight below the speed of light. In combat and when entering a planet's atmosphere, they can be extended. At the wingtips are high-energy laser cannons that are fired individually, simultaneously, in pairs or in other combinations. The Star Wars model spaceship is perfect for all Star Wars fans young and old.
