The new Star Wars plastic model kits for gluing and painting offer model fans from the age of 10 even more handicraft fun.
Darth Vader used this prototype, the basis for the terrifyingly effective TIE Interceptor, at the Battle of Yavin. Unlike any other TIE fighter, this prototype features a deflector shield generator and a simple hyperdrive. Vader's TIE Advanced is armed with dual heavy blaster cannons but has no life support systems. The TIE Advanced features a dural steel alloy hull, extended aft deck and unique solar panel wings. The TIE Advanced quickly became one of Darth Vader's favorite ships. Like all TIE ships, the prototype's propulsion system consists of dual ion engines. Its solar ionization reactor is said to be significantly more powerful than standard TIE fighters. The TIE Advanced has proven itself in battle, as it can survive many direct hits. The pilots' chances of survival have also been significantly improved with the installation of a hyperdrive system, which allows the ship to escape hopeless battles. Both Darth Vader and Kylo Ren use this TIE fighter and the Star Wars spaceship is available here as a detailed model.
