Bandai Star Wars 1/72 TIE Advanced x1 (Darth Vader Custom)
Hunt down the Rebellion with the personal starfighter of the Dark Lord of the Sith. Dragoon Gaming stocks the Bandai Star Wars 1/72 TIE Advanced x1, a high-precision scale model that captures the unique, intimidating silhouette of Darth Vader’s custom prototype. As seen in the climactic trench run of A New Hope, this kit is engineered with Bandai’s world-class mechanical detail, offering a studio-accurate build experience for serious collectors.
Elite Imperial Engineering & Surface Detail
The Bandai 1/72 TIE Advanced is renowned for its incredible surface "greebling" and technical accuracy. Every panel of the signature curved solar wings and the reinforced hull is rendered with sharp injection molding. Utilizing snap-fit construction, the model assembles securely without the need for glue, providing the intricate textures and industrial realism required for a professional-grade display piece.
Key Features of the TIE Advanced x1 Model Kit:
- Highly Detailed Cockpit: Features a fully realized interior with a precision-molded flight console and viewport.
- Laser Effect Parts: Includes translucent green "fire" parts that attach to the primary cannons to simulate high-intensity dogfights.
- Death Star Display Base: Comes with a specialized terrain base styled after the Death Star surface, which can be linked with other Bandai Star Wars kits.
- Darth Vader Pilot Figure: Includes two 1/72 scale figures of Darth Vader (one seated for the cockpit and one standing for display).
- Dual Canopy Options: Choose between a clear plastic window or a frame-only canopy for a specialized "Studio Scale" look.
- Accurate Markings: Includes both water-slide decals and marking stickers to replicate the technical identifiers of the Imperial Navy.
Dragoon Gaming Builder’s Advisory
The TIE Advanced x1 is a rewarding project that excels with subtle detailing. At Dragoon Gaming, we recommend using a Gundam Marker GM-01 (Black) to define the panel lines on the light grey hull to accentuate the mechanical depth. To capture the look of a veteran fighter, use a light soot effect around the rear engine ports. For the best result, apply a Satin or Matte Top Coat to give the Imperial grey plastic a realistic, non-reflective metallic finish.
Note: This is a 1/72 scale plastic model kit. Assembly is required. No glue is necessary.
