Revell Darth Vader's TIE-Fighter

Darth Vader used this prototype, the basis for the frighteningly effective TIE Interceptor, in the Battle of Yavin. Unlike all other TIE fighters, this prototype features a deflector shield generator and a basic hyperdrive. Vader's TIE Advanced is armed with fixed-mounted, heavy dual blaster cannons but lacks life support systems. The TIE Advanced is characterized by a hull made of a durasteel alloy, an extended rear deck, and unique solar panel wings. The TIE Advanced quickly became one of Darth Vader's preferred ships. Like all TIE ships, the propulsion system of the prototype consists of twin ion engines. Its solar ionization reactor is considered significantly more powerful than that of standard TIE fighters. The TIE Advanced has proven itself in combat, as it can withstand many direct hits. The survival chances of the pilots were also greatly improved by the installation of a hyperdrive system, allowing the ship to escape hopeless battles.
