Sort of looks like a Scimitar bomber (vaguely!), but I agree, it does look
cool. I also bought a second TIE so I could have Darth flanked by his
wingmen (DS-1 and DS-2 in Black 1 and Black 2 if I remember correctly from
my SWCCG collection), now I feel I should get a few more X-Wings to make up
for the amount of space those 3 TIEs take up compared to the skinny B-Wing
and tiny A-Wing and Y-Wing :)
If you have a UCS TIE kicking around try my TIE Interceptor MOC by pulling
the UCS wings apart and rebuild to minifig scale and attaching to a TIE (you
might find that using the Darth TIE wing spars make it look a little less
cramped). Pics at http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2742
(haven't posted the DAT for the latest revision yet, I'll try and remember
to do it this weekend).
