By Peter M. Jaensch

Scale: 1/72

This is the 1/72 Bandai TIE Fighter built stock, except for lighting elements.

Cockpit and pilot handpainted in artist oils. Ship itself painted using Tamiya spray cans - primarily Haze Grey. Some detail like off-colored panels and the chin blaster cannons were handpainted with acrylics and oils. Weathered using artist oils. Not too much weathering or scoring though because unlike the Alliance, Imperial Fleet Command is replete with resources and can easily keep their ships in perfect repair and squeaky clean after each sortie.

Lighting consists of a red LED mounted behind the pilot's chair to illuminate the cockpit and an LED mounted in the wing strut and connected to two fiber optic strands, one for each engine. Wires go down to a battery box in the stand for easy battery replacement.

Really enjoyable kit to build.
