I found it more of a challenge than the B-wing. I mostly ran short on
plates. And of course red engines would be nice, but we'll have to wait for a
real set for that. And better tail fins.

We've got the Tie/Y-wing set (thanks to a tip here from someone living in
Keane, NH, which is where my father-in-law lives). The day after the Darth's
Tie arrived, my son was "transforming" it (as he put it) both into a regular
Tie, and a Tie Interceptor. I gave him a little help, and it's now in regular
Tie configuration. If I had a mock-up of the windscreen part, I might Ldraw
it. To make a good Tie Interceptor, I'd want four 4X8 wing pieces, and four
laser cannons. Neither the Tie or Y-wing comes with 4X8 wings, and the Y-wing
only comes with 2 laser cannons. I'll probably grab 2 more from a speeder
bike and see what I can do.
