LEGO Star Wars - TIE Experimental S2-M1

Description

EDIT: I decided to name this ship the TIE Experimental S2-M1 (Series 2, Model 1). I also added more detail to the cockpit, got rid of the cannons on the wings, and improved the missile launchers.

* * *

Not much; just a simple modification of the 9492 TIE Fighter set, which is still one of my favorites. This was inspired by one of the TIE Experimental models... there's a version of the TIE that has these little concussion missile launchers rigged to the wings, you see. I took that concept, and added my own custom feature, which is the extended hull with the R2 droid socket, which I first showed on my TIE Warrior concept.

You see, the 9492 TIE Fighter set comes with this really cool black R5 droid; just as an extra figure, as there's no where to actually put him on the TIE Fighter like with the X-Wing. So I decided to give the little droid a place to sit; I hope to be able to actually build this custom model eventually. I think I can get most of the parts I need from LEGOShop, and the rest from Bricklink.

Anyway, this custom TIE Fighter is armed with 2 heavy laser cannons just like the standard model, as well as 2 concussion missile launchers with 6 missiles each. It also has a hyperdrive, light shields, and of course an R2 unit behind the cockpit.

Got a parts list/instructions? I really love the use of the astromech as when we occasionally see them in the movies but never with/in the empire's ships
