In honor of May the Fourth, I started on this long planned project yesterday, Vader's flight trio of his Advanced TIE and his two wingmen's standard TIE Fighters   I'll be using these kits, while not identical in scale, they are pretty dang close...   I started yesterday giving a base coat of dark gray on the interior surfaces  although I will confess that I am not happy with the color that I used as it dried much darker than what I needed, so a repaint is in order sometime soon... |

Thanks guys! I do hope that you enjoy this project. I haven’t done a trio build in decades!
I’m with you Dean on being surprised that no one has done this as a kit set in any scale. Although Bandai did release a set in 1/144 of one standard TIE and Vader’s TIE. I really think it should have been all three!

What are you going to use for a base? I know the AMT kit has one that is supposed to be the surface of the Deathstar but if I recall it was a bit anemic. Four of the clip together panels from the Bandai kits would be cool if there was a way to get ahold of them. Although just a bunch of random geometric blocks and greeblies could make a pretty convincing trench.  |
