Bandai 1:72 Emperor's Royal Guard TIE Interceptor

I'm posting this one for my Younger Brother. I'm not sure of this version of the Tie Interceptor is cannon any more, but it's pretty cool. There are version of this Royal Guard Interceptor with extra fins sticking out.   My brother forgot that he has these pictures, and I asked him if I could post them. He doesn't remember all the paints that he used, but I'll keep trying to update this entry as he remembers them.

The Tie Interceptor was first seen in Return of the Jedi. The Tie Advance, or Tie X-1 (Darth Vader's Tie Fighter in A New Hope) was considered a failure for mass production, but parts of it were used and improved for the all new Interceptor vessel.

This version of the TIE Fighter has been a fan favourite since it was first debuted in 1983. MPC released a snap kit to companion their A-wing model kit. The TIE Interceptor is faster and packs a more powerful punch than it's classic TIE Fighter counterpart.
