It’s available to order online now and is coming to newsstands later in the year. It’s the latest Star Wars release from DeAgostini, Build your Own X-wing.

BUILD YOUR OWN X-WING

Luke Skywalker’s Legendary Starfighter. Inspired by the movie props from A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back! this iconic spacecraft, instrumental in the destruction of the evil Empire’s planet-destroying Death Star, has now been recreated in stunning detail.

All elements are accurately reproduced from blueprints provided by Lucasfilm Ltd. From the remote activated working lights, motorised s-foils, removable hyper drive, opening cockpit to a highly detailed R2-D2 miniature – all details are captured in metal and high quality ABS plastic.

This is a fabulous model for any Star Wars fan – and comes with an assembly guide and magazine full of fascinating facts.
