If anyone is still interested in this, here's what I've dug up about TIE
laser cannons:
A closeup of the T/F laser cannons shows that they do not have red tips:

Other TIEs apparently do, however, as shown in this closeup of Vader's X1:

Nice work on the model, BTW :) Do you have enough black bricks to make a TIE

modeling, as I've been rather disappointed w/ the accuracy of the official
Lego models (although they provide some nice raw material).
