The first step was to add the extra support struts to the wings. I used a 10mm wide tape strip to make sure the distances were always the same and then scraped away the surface detail using a chisel
This is a pretty simple conversion of a Revell TIE Fighter into the ground support/superiority version as seen in one of the old Star Wars newspaper comic strips. I've used the Revell kit as a base as its the same size as a Bandai kit but a bit cheaper. It can be detailled with bits from a Bandai or Fine Molds kit but does need grooves cut into the wing edges as they are molded flat.
