| ABOUT THE DESIGN: | ABOUT THE MODEL: | |
| Featured only briefly in the first "Star Wars" sequel, "The Empire Strikes Back," the TIE Bomber was a short-range tactical bomber based on the TIE Advanced spaceframe. (In fact, the designers at George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic used the solar panels from the AMT/Ertl "Darth Vader TIE Fighter" kit to build the filming miniature.) The starboard cylinder contains the pilot while the port cylinder contains the explosive charges, which are delivered to their target via a ventral bomb chute. |
