Darth Vader and Kylo Ren TIE-Fighter as a model kit
The new Star Wars plastic model kits for gluing and painting now offer model fans from 10 years of age even more handicraft fun.
Darth Vader used this prototype, the basis for the terrifyingly effective TIE Interceptor, in the Battle of Yavin. Unlike all other TIE fighters, this prototype has a deflector shield generator and a simple hyperdrive. Vader's TIE Advanced is armed with heavy double blaster cannons but has no life support systems. The TIE Advanced is characterized by a shell made of a dural steel alloy, an extended aft deck and unique solar cell wings. The TIE Advanced quickly became one of Darth Vader's preferred ships. Like all TIE ships, the prototype's propulsion system consists of twin ion thrusters. Its solar ionization reactor is considered to be much more powerful than that of the standard TIE fighters. The TIE Advanced has proven itself in combat, because he can survive many direct hits. The pilots' chances of survival have also been significantly improved by installing a hyperdrive system that enables the ship to escape hopeless battles. This TIE fighter is used by both Darth Vader and Kylo Ren and the Star Wars spaceship is available here as a detailed model.
