Studio scale TIE bomber WIP, with parts from Hasegawa’s old Morser Karl & Leopold kit parts! #scalemodels #studioscale #starwars

Stacks of donor kits from Hasegawa, Tamiya, and AMT-ERTL. These are the same kits that the ILM model shop used to detail many of the iconic Star Wars ships.

The major assemblies for a TIE bomber: aluminum armature, 2” pipe for the fuselage halves, and the Darth Vader Tie Fighter wings, modified to make them seem bigger.

Left fuselage has been scribed and detailed successfully. Right fuselage has some parts temporarily attached to mark out its scribe lines.
