Darth Vader's TIE Fighter

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 aged 10 and over even more crafting fun.

Darth Vader used this prototype, the basis for the frighteningly 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 dual blaster cannons, but has no life support systems. The TIE Advanced features a dural steel alloy hull, an extended aft deck and unique solar cell wings. The TIE Advanced quickly became one of Darth Vader's preferred ships. Like all TIE vessels, the prototype's propulsion system consists of twin-ion engines. Its solar ionization reactor is considered much more powerful than that of the standard TIE fighters. The TIE Advanced has proven itself in combat, as it can survive many direct hits. Pilots' chances of survival have also been significantly improved by 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.
