This thing has been sitting on my shelf for months now, but I've been afraid to touch it in case the wings popped off. They were only attached with two clips each. D:

So I finally got around to strengthening it recently and I can finally do this! https://flic.kr/p/2dGTQaB

Very nice model indeed.
Clever build on the core of the ship and the upper wings with studs out on both sides.

It's very similar, but it's hardly identical. There's not really any other parts that work for the cockpit (I prefer to use a single piece, instead of a brick-built canopy). As for the shape of the wings, there's not really any other way to get that shape, unless I'd used sloped bricks instead of plates, but that would add structural problems that weren't worth it for me.

Since i saw it first, i wondered how it would look like "jeraced". I love the snots on both sides of the panels, didn't know there's a technique for this. Superb build! Now i wonder how standard TIEs would look like using this. As much as i love @Jerac's designs, sometimes they are almost too smooth.
