TIME TO BUILD
How long does it take to build Anakin's Y-wing Starfighter™?
A starting point for planning your build. Times for each experience level are editorial estimates, not measurements submitted by HowLongToBuild users.
Editorial estimate · first build
Intermediate
≈ 3 hSuggested range1 h 45 min – 5 hExperienced
≈ 2 hSuggested range1 h 15 min – 3 h 30 minBased on one person building the set for the first time, following the original instructions and using numbered bags where supplied. Includes normal piece-finding and minor adjustments; excludes long breaks, filming, dismantling and modifications. Sources may use different methods. This range is neither a statistical interval nor a limit: your build may take less or more time.
How we estimate times · sources and method
Editorial assessment: Anakin's yellow Y-wing fighter. The front cockpit is followed by a transparent dome. A first build following the instructions, including normal piece finding; an adult may help when needed. Breaks, subsequent play and any alternative models are excluded. For older sets, unnumbered bags or previously mixed pieces may prolong sorting. No verified timed build: indicative values with substantial variation.
Sources do not always specify the builder’s experience. The three experience bands are our editorial assessment, based on the complexity of the set and individual accounts where available.

From the energy of Mars to the distance of Neptune, the orchestra changes scale and colour. An imaginary voyage for space exploration: Holst’s planets are musical characters, not an astronomy lesson.
