So, a hundred or so years ago, I broke my vintage TIE. I broke off the little hook that holds the panel in place so the battle damage worked. I got around this by putting the wing on upside down. Over time the other hook got broke.
So, inspired by Wookieballs, I have bee search the 'bay for stuff I need to restore my original toys. For the hell of it, I did a search on TIE parts, thinking I'd have to sacrifice an entire fuselage for these hooks. I lucked out and found a pair of the hooks. They are attached to the buttons. Got a pair in great shape. I pulled out my TIE and it's a bit yellowed around the edges. How should I proceed to brighten this thing up and then do surgery? And not in that order.
I also found replacement stickers for my droid factory and cantina.
