That's actually very cool! Nice parody. ;) But besides the obvious big white onion, the color scheme, the slopes, and the cockpit nicely all nicely blend together, making for quite an effect. The big weapons also fit nicely. Can't wait for the (...) (22 years ago, 24-Dec-02, to lugnet.starwars)

Just wondering, I received my Mini TIE today, and for such a small scale it looks fairly good. But what's so great about it????? Why would anyone pay thirty bucks for this???
