AMT SW TIE Fighter


Recommended Posts

I picked up this set off eBay a few months ago and want to try one of my lighting kits on it.

I won't be using the whole kit, not over keen on the base so will be building the two TIE Fighters individually.

Work so far.

Back panel needs tidying up.

Lights consist of Red LED with fibre guides and Blue LED for backlight to cockpit.

Blue LED test fitted.

Will be mounting it on its own base, more soon.

Cheers,

Little bit more done on the TIE.

Cockpit finished and lit, also buttoned up ball.

The LED for the red fibres is in the left wing support.

Apologies for the poor quality photos, had to use a slow shutter speed but couldn't find my tripod.

Cheers,

Hi Windy,

I sell them under the Tirydium Models banner, the web store is here

http://www.freewebstore.org/Tirydium-Models

The kit on the store is for the Fine Mold version but can easily be modified for the AMT kit.

It is almost complete so will post some more pictures this evening.

Cheers ,

Warren

Just a couple of close up pictures of the cockpit lighting.

Now the rear and the eagle eyed of you will noticed that there is only one red light, I accidently pulled the other fibre out when trying to remove the masking tape and other than stripping the whole thing down I will have to leave it as is.
