THE MANDALORIAN - N-1 Starfighter - Model Kit 1/24

Star Wars: The Mandalorian — Din Djarin’s N-1 Starfighter — Revell 1/24 Scale Model Kit

Recreate Din Djarin and Grogu’s new ship with this model kit of the N-1 Starfighter, inspired by the Star Wars: The Mandalorian series. Produced by Revell at a scale of 1/24, this kit reproduces the old Naboo fighter, completely modified by Peli Motto to replace the destroyed Razor Crest.

The model consists of 77 plastic parts to be assembled. Once completed, it measures approximately 45.7 cm in length, 26.1 cm in width and 15.6 cm in height, offering a particularly imposing scale that showcases its slender fuselage and two long side engines.

The kit includes a fuselage made up of several sections, separate engines, and transparent parts for the cockpit and various technical areas. A pilot figure depicting Din Djarin is included, along with an additional space fitted out behind the cockpit to accommodate Grogu.

A display stand allows the N-1 to be displayed in flight configuration. Its large scale also makes it easier to paint the metallic surfaces, the fuselage panels and the numerous mechanical modifications added to the original craft.

This traditional model kit requires assembly using glue, followed by painting. Classified as difficulty level 3, it is recommended by Revell for ages 10 and over and is suitable for model-making enthusiasts who already have some experience of gluing and finishing.

Origin and background of the spacecraft (Lore)

The N-1 Starfighter was originally a light fighter used by the Naboo security forces and the Royal Naboo Fleet. Its design combines a streamlined fuselage, two radial engines and a chrome finish, reflecting the importance the people of Naboo place on the balance between function and aesthetics.

These craft played a notable role in the Battle of Naboo, during which a squadron of N-1s engaged the Trade Federation’s forces. With the help of Anakin Skywalker, the pilots managed to destroy the droid control ship, bringing an end to the occupation of the planet.

Several decades after the fall of the Republic, the mechanic Peli Motto recovers an old N-1 and offers it to Din Djarin as a replacement for his Razor Crest. The Mandalorian is initially disappointed by this small, ageing craft, but eventually agrees to help restore and modify it.

Peli and Din remove much of the original panelling and equipment to lighten the fighter. They also replace several internal systems with more powerful components, including a Venturi assimilator taken from a ship dating from the Republic era. The result is a unique ship, extremely fast and capable of operating outside the usual identification networks.

The space formerly reserved for the astromech droid is converted into a small transparent dome for Grogu. This allows the child to travel behind Din whilst observing space and the planets they pass by.

Unlike the Razor Crest, the N-1 has very little cargo space and is no longer really suited to traditional bounty hunter missions. However, it compensates for this limitation with significantly superior speed, acceleration and manoeuvrability.

Din tests his new ship in the vicinity of Tatooine, particularly in the narrow passages of Beggar’s Canyon, before using it to rejoin Grogu and continue their adventures.

After choosing to leave his Jedi training, Grogu reunites with Din and takes his place aboard the N-1. The ship then becomes the new means of transport for the duo as they continue their fight against the remnants of the Empire.
