TIE EXPERIMENTAL M3

The TIE Experimental M3, also known as the TIE Warhead, was an experimental member of the TIE Series and a part of the TIE Experimental Project. [wookieepedia: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE_Experimental_M3]

I used the Revell TIE Interceptor kit in 1/90 scale for the custom. The warhead launchers are modified WW2 US bombs in 1/48 scale from an old B-17 kit.
Paintwork: Revell enamel and aqua colours, washes with thinned oil colours.

Another very interesting Experimental TIE concept I didn't know before...Christoph, your custom looks exactly like the concept art! I am always stunned where you get all these extra parts!
Excellent execution as always! 10/10

TIE TRI-FIGHTER (CLUTCH)

The Tri-fighter, known colloquially by both its users and targets as the Clutch, was an "Ugly" starfighter used by Moff Leonia Tavira and her gang of pirates, the Invids.
The Clutch consisted of a TIE/LN starfighter ball cockpit and ion engines and three triangular fins set 120° apart with one fin above the cockpit and two below.
[wookieepedia: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Clutch_(fighter)]

I used a Revell TIE Interceptor model kit for the custom. The engine part behind the ball cockpit is from an old space station MIR model kit.
I used mainly Tamiya spray colours and Revell enamel colours. One flaw of the older Revell Star Wars model kits is the absence of a display stand. I made a simple display stand with nut wood and 1mm wire.
It was a lot of work to cut out the wings and all the other parts but all in all a nice custom project.
I hope you like it.

This is an awesome looking ship mate well done indeed.

Christoph we have had a lot of likes on this for our FB Page. One question I thought was interesting, does that top wing fold so the cockpit will open up or does it have any ingress/egress for the cockpit?

[I-am-Boba-Fett]

These are great looking TIE Fighters!
Really nice work on them all.

Thank you very much.

Thank you for putting it on the ISY FB Page Shawn. That's a good question. My idea was that the entrance to the cockpit is at bottom of the vehicle and the gas fuel tank which is normally below the cockpit is now in the cylindrical part behind the cockpit.
I have to admit that the "folding top wing" concept sounds a lot more interesting and it is also a better solution.

These are great looking TIE Fighters!
Really nice work on them all.

Thank you.
