STAR WARS TIE FIGHTER STUDIO SERIES

PRODUCTION MOCKUP (1:32) The TIE fighter was the perfectly suited workhorse of the Imperial fleet used for ship-to-ship “dog fighting”, full-scale assault, and ground support. The shrill roar of their twin ion engines and the distinctive silhouette of their solar array panels made them instantly recognizable. A lack of hyperdrive and defensive shield technology allowed them to be incredibly nimble and quick. However, it was the combination of specialized training and the ingrained victory-at-all-costs ideology of their pilots that made the TIE fighter one of the most lethal spacecraft in the Empire’s arsenal.

AMT proudly presents an ALL-NEW “Studio Series” large format plastic model kit of this iconic spaceship. This 13 ½” tall model features the intricate details present in the original filming miniatures along with a full cockpit that includes an Imperial pilot. Clear parts can be installed for a realistic look and assist the modelers who install custom lighting. A dome base with a metal support rod is included for a handsome display. A detailed replacement cap can be installed on the model when the display base is not used. Fine decals are included to decorate the ship inside and out and an easy-to-follow pictorial assembly guide is included.
