Starting on the upgrades - cockpit tub glued together and sanded to fit the #D print, seat has had its base sanded off so it can be glued to the new floor. Interior section of the printed canopy frame cut out, to be replaced by glass from Bandai, which has had the outside frame sanded off. Top hatch has been sanded flush on the bottom.
Bandai glass glued to printed outside frame. I wanted to keep the outside frame as it is the wider version seen in the cartoon, rather than the movie version as on the Bandai kit.
The TIE Defender Elite, as seen in Season 4 of the Star Wars: Rebels cartoon, based on #D printable files sold by JakkuSalvage on Etsy. The interior is pretty basic, so I will add one from a Revell TIE Fighter kit, and the canopy and top hatch has no glass, so I will replace with spares from a Bandai TIE Fighter.
