Advanced Tie Fighter X 1
I finally finished a kit! Even though I visit iModeler nearly every day, I haven’t posted anything in quite a while having started a new job this school year that has kept me very busy. But, bit by bit, I kept at this one and present my Bandai 1/72 Advanced Tie Fighter.
This a great kit! It’s a snap kit with excellent engineering. Although I glued mine, you could easily snap it together and it would have a tight fit.

Certainly makes a change from Jugs, Scott! I have a 'back burner' project to do a 1/72 Me 262/X-Wing dogfight; probably never get it going but I think it'd look great.
Thanks David. I like the idea of the Me 262/X-wing. Or maybe an F-104 intercepting a Tie Fighter!
Nice work, I like the subtle texture this model has. Looks great
Thanks Paul. It’s a great kit for dry brushing.
I like it Scott
Thanks Tom.
Extremely well detailed for a snap-tite kit...I like it, too.
Thanks Craig. The Y-wing kit is just as good. These Bandai Star Wars kits are the best sci fi kits ive seen.
The Force is strong in this one. Great job.
Thanks Robert.
Finished a kit at last he has...
Nice work Scott,N.
Brilliant comment, Neil. My (Chinese) wife often uses similar language, as in "Many things have I to do today", my mother in law's English name is "Stuka", but that's another story!
Thanks Neil. If only you could hear my Yoda impersonation!
I haven't seen the TIE Advanced out yet and it looks great! You are correct, these are EXCELLENT kits no matter if they snap together. I'm almost done with my A-wing and am looking forward to finally having a nice Y-wing in the collection. (I just hope Bandai doesn't leave us hanging and releases a B-wing to round out the rebel fighters and a TIE bomber for the empire!)
I have the Y-wing. It looks great in the box. I’m sure it will build up nicely.
How did Darth Vader know what Luke Skywalker had got him for Xmas? He felt his presents!
Very nicely done mate!
I like the joke. Thanks Richard!
I was always wondering how they make exact scale out of tie fighter, do they have official imperial production blueprints, or they went to imperial aerospace museum and had one of these measured?
