Personal Note (from Ah Chong)

The TIE Advanced x1 has a very different presence compared to standard TIE Fighters, and this kit does a good job highlighting that.

With the laser effect parts, cockpit detail, and included Darth Vader figure, it’s a nice choice if you’re planning a small Star Wars display rather than just a standalone build.
