The TIE has a total of 16 LED's thats 32 Cables crammed in between the Cockpit and the outer shell, I thought that the model would pop like a Thermal Detonator when I was assembling it. I actually finished the TIE just before X-Mass but did not have the time or the power to take Photos of it after a lot of good food and just hanging around with the Family and a trip to Vienna to see the SW Identities for the 2nd Time, and yea! they had a couple of SW TFA exhibitsДЄnyho, pretty satisfied with the final build but I always think I could have done this or that better I guess thats just how it is with Modeling Some detail added to the Side Panels that also serves as cover for some holes where clips held the parts together (as a Toy).ДЄgain Kudos to MAAX Replicas for he's awesome work on those Hasbro Tie Builds.ДЄdded Styrene parts to get that Three layer look from the original. That wierd 'Disc' fittet in front of the Steering Yoke

Those Triangular holes will later be fitted with Panels back lid with Red LED's Scratched built Pilot seat using Kit Bashed parts, Styrene and Strings from my Ol E-Bass as Tubing

You can see the 'Hasbro' Original Cockpit here. Scratched build of those 'Tubes' placed in the upper front part of the cockpit Trying to get that back wall to look like the Original (four red LED's will be installed later) Starting the basic shape for the Cockpit using Styrene sheets and Kit Bash parts Rods, Styrene sheets, paint of all sorts and Kits for bashingД¬racked it open and went in hard with the Dremel to make space for the new Cockpit By the way MAAX has done A LOT of Hasbro Tie conversions so I also used some of his builds as a inspiration!.

Started collecting pics from books, online sources and some good advice from MAAX REPLICAS Kudos to him for pointing me in the right direction as how to crack that ol Tie open!. After finishing Randy Coopers Tantive IV (will post pics soon.forgot somehow ) I thought lets have a break from modeling for a bit, but then stumbled upon the awesome work from Bill Georg (Sci-Fi Airshow) Sci-Fi Airshow Tie Build from Sci-Fi Airshow and thought DAM! How awesome does that look!!!.ДЄnyhow had this Hasbro Tie Fighter still unboxed in the basement so I thought what the heck I have time for one more kit before X-mass.
