This is a TIE Bomber model that I have built from scratch in 1995.
It is the same size as the original Industrial Light & Magic model used during the making of
Star Wars: "The Empire Strikes Back".
The wings and the cockpit window on this Star Wars model (as well as the ones on the original) were both taken from the MPC/ERTL Darth Vader Tie Fighter model kit (which was originally released right after Star Wars: A New Hope, just in time for the making of The Empire Strikes Back). I simply added a small strip of styrene all the way around the wings to make them a little bigger. To see photos of this model in the making, click HERE!
