A Little Midi-Scale: U-Wing Starfighter

If like me you are nostalgic for the M formatidi-scale, operated by LEGO for only two boxes in the Star Wars range with references 7778 Mid-scale Millennium Falcon (2009) et 8099 Midi-Scale Imperial Star Destroyer (2010), here's what to take care of with this very successful creation: A U-Wing Midi scale whose wings fold up that you can assemble at home using the instructions in PDF format to download below.

The 7778 and 8099 sets were excellent compromises: The level of detail was sufficient without sacrificing playability or space saving for those who wanted to display them. Too bad that LEGO hasn't continued to adapt other ships and gear to this scale.

This U-Wing's .LXF file was made available by the ship's creator (psychobilly1 on Reddit). Some parts are not available in the color used under LDD in mode Expanded, but they can easily be replaced.

You can DIY this U-Wing as you like in Lego digital designer and even import it into the new tool similar to LDD, Studio, to directly supply your Wanted List on bricklink and order the parts you need.
