Star Wars : Darth Vader's TIE Fighter [Star Wars]

Having the distinct characteristics of large twin solar arrays, the Empire's TIE Starfighters have become the most widely recognizable symbol of the Imperial forces. Differing from the standard TIE, Vader's custom TIE Advance X1 has larger, angular wings, a longer rear engine, and both protective shields and hyperdrive capability. Like its pilot, Lord Vader, the TIE Advanced X1 is faster, more maneuverable and definitely more lethal. With over 300 hand-crafted pieces, all detailed features were scaled from the original TIE Advanced X1. The cockpit hatch is removable to expose astounding detail of the cockpit interior, control panels, side panel detailing and even includes Darth Vader seated at his pilot chair. This compelling showpiece is custom painted to emphasize its rich detail, from the weathering effect of the exhaust fumes, to the computer detail on the interior side panels. This replica of the TIE Advance X1 Starfighter was molded based on the original models and photos from the Lucasfilm archives. This remarkable display piece (scale 1/38) is the ultimate in die cast modeling, complete with its own custom designed display base, stand, nameplate & acrylic case. Delivered with certificate of authenticity.
