Set Review ➟ LEGO® 75432 - V-19 Torrent Starfighter
I'd been looking forward to building this Clone V-19 Torrent for quite some time. This is set number 75432, V-19 Torrent Starfighter, with 567 pieces, 3 minifigures and a price tag of €64.99. It's a ship that caught my attention when it was released, particularly because of the movement mechanism for its central wing.
5 bags, some stickers and the building instructions. Let's get started!
Ahhh, what a brilliant Obi-Wan figure! I absolutely love the printed shoulder, and the shade of the beard and hair is spot on. That outfit looks fantastic!
The ship starts with its central section, securing the framework that will support all the other components.
And here you can see how the central wing mechanism works. It's really effective!
Once the mechanism is in place, the central body is reinforced to make it more rigid, and the curved slopes soon come into play, giving the upper section its distinctive shape. The section housing the control panel is quite an interesting little build.
Wow! What a cool helmet this Clone Pilot has!
Now it's time to focus on the central wing. To be honest, I thought it would be symmetrical, but imagine my surprise when I realised it wasn't...
And well, here's a rather odd little detail that seems quite unusual these days: the instructions fail to mention that the relevant sticker needs to be applied... Aside from that, the wing is pretty sturdy, and the folding mechanism works really well. This time, the wings are symmetrical, so it's a case of remembering those previous steps :D
Ahh! What a villain! Asajj Ventress, what an absolute beauty!
And here we have the finished ship, fully assembled and working. Which mode do you prefer? I'll go with the second one. How cool does it look!
This set is well worth considering for its playability and minifigures. And for those who enjoy building up squadrons of ships, this is another great addition to their fleets.
