Does the TIE Interceptor come with instructions for an alternate model? I've seen scans of the X-Wing's alternate model so I'm guessing that the TIE does as well. Thanks, Jim (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I agree on the race issue, however Lego has made some "people" of different ethnicities. There's a "black" duplo guy.
