Well. I've bashed the hell out of Star Trek subjects for years, but I've never bashed a Wars project before. But I was looking at a TIE Interceptor and a light bulb went off.
Two sets of wings, reversed. A bashed fuselage, and a bashed engine.
I'm thinking, a long-range TIE penetrator with a hyperdrive, and four high-end laser canon.

The lasers are 1/35 German 37mm flak guns minus the barrels, plus some car engine parts.
The fuselage is a section of an old Revell rocket model from the early 60s, I think it was called "Solaris." I found it in my spares box. Of course I had to come up with an engine that gave a reason for the 4 fairings and slots. The main engine body is from a 1/32 Me-262, with the TIE exhaust. The 4 accessory units arounf it are chunks of the TIE wing supports, plus WWII exhaust stacks and rocket launcher stubs.

Plus lotsa sheet plastic, rod, and other greeblies, of course.
As for a name, I don't know what's been taken. I'm afraid I'd call it something from the EU or something. I suppose "Bow TIE" and "Black TIE" are probably taken
. There's probably a TIE Penetrator somewhere already.
Suggestions?
