In anticipation of the new 75400 Plo Koon’s Jedi Starfighter Microfighter, the LEGO Star Wars community quickly devised custom depictions of the blue and white starfighter, expanding on the Microfighter. Now that the LEGO Star Wars set is available, those custom creations have adapted accordingly.
We took a close look at a custom build last month, combining the contents of 31160 Aircraft: Race Plane for £12.99 / $14.99 / €14.99 and 75388 Jedi Bob’s Starfighter for £34.99 / $39.99 / €39.99 for an impressive depiction of Plo Koon’s Jedi Starfighter. This was before 75400 Plo Koon’s Jedi Starfighter Microfighter was available, and the custom creations have evolved and adapted with the release of the new set.
Wurger Bricks has a custom build for either additional set, though the benefit of using 31160 Aircraft: Race Plane instead is that you'll have a display stand for the starfighter. Codyaner.bricks has a version 31160 Aircraft: Race Plane as well, opting for a similar, but substantially different build with some alternate part usage towards the back of the build.
The custom creations that use 31160 Aircraft: Race Plane need an additional cockpit windscreen element, but they're both fairly common and should be easy to find somewhere in your collection.
MasterBrickSeparator's build needs two copies of the Microfighter, using the included parts widely to capture the shaping and colour scheme of the Jedi Starfighter on a much smaller scale, yet still featuring a display stand. Note that an additional cockpit windshield piece is required, but it's another common piece.
LEGO Star Wars 75400 Plo Koon's Jedi Starfighter Microfighter is available now with an exclusive minifigure for £12.99 / $14.99 / €14.99, whether you want to stick to the official model or pursue one of the many alternative options.
