RZ-1 A-wing interceptor
This spring's Speed Champions sets brought with them a bunch of new moulds and recoloured elements. My most anticipated was the Pagani wedge in White in 76922 BMW M4 GT3 & BMW M Hybrid V8 Race Cars. For the latter half of last year I was toying with the idea of using them in a downscaled A-wing, so I was delighted when I realized I could use my tablescraps in a fully-fledged MOC!
Most of this came together quite nicely: the Airjitzu windscreen (18591) was an obvious choice at this scale (finally finding a use after almost a decade!), and I was delighted to find an old Technic Connector (x383) in my collection that made an auspiciously good match for the cannons. Some awkward portions of the build included integrating said cockpit (the recess in the fuselage is a bit more angular than I would have liked compared to the curvy windscreen element) and fitting landing gear: I tried my best but there wasn't quite enough space. I did however, manage a nice smooth underside in lieu of landing apparatus!
I think this is pretty close to what some would call 'minifig scale' but ironically, it's too small to fit a whole figure. The head is sitting on a Racers Body (41850), a detail I overthought as you can barely see it in the finished model.
Thanks to New Elementary and LEGO for sending a 76922 set for review. You can read a breakdown of the set here.
