TIE Whisper Interceptor

Added some sections of 0.4mm rod to give some variation to the wing panels 

Removed the rear seat and added some bits from the greeblie pile. 

Also used some scrap styrene to fill holes and add a bit more detail. 

Added a casting of the front panel, based on the one I modified for the standard TIE Whisper build 

Cockpit in place - with a Kylo Ren figure made by modifying a FO pilot body and adding a left-over Anakin Skywalker head (originally from a Fine Molds Jedi Starfighter kit, I think) 

Basic body put together - wing centre pieces just clipped in place for now. 

New windshield attached - again from a casting made during the standard TIE Whisper build 

Hull extension put in place - front view 

Rear view showing hull extensions in place 

I had painted the wing panels but wasn't happy with the gaps around the inserted ribs - so I had a go at puttying them a bit. Also I wasn't happy with the colour - too warm. I'll have to mix up a new colour later. 

Dry fits of the wing outer and inner sections showed a gap for one section on each side. A shim was made from scrap styrene, glued in place and trimmed to match the opposite side. 

Wing panels glued together - some repositioning required as they are a long way from parallel 

Wing panels repositioned and gaps filled 

Wing-tip guns glued in place and a coat of black primer on the wings 

Gaps under the extensions filled with Aves and a coat of interior grey on the transparencies - also used it as a primer to check the filled areas. 

Main painting completed on all parts and coated with Future ready for weathering
