updated 6206 TIE Interceptor

I have been very busy these months, so that's why I have not been able to post or comment too much, but now I am back.

After years of keeping this model disassembled, I decided to rebuild it with a few little MODs in order to stay up to the rest of my collection standards, so here it is:

At first glance the mods seem to be non existent, but it has been updated with few bricks that weren't available at the moment.

First the cockpit: modified to be more rounded and strong with a new opening mechanism

It also has those elbow angled pieces to hold the wings in position instead of click hinges

And some flick fire missiles on the wing tips for an extra playability

I've always loved the black and blue combos. I approve of the modded look.

Thanks buddy, I also like the combination of blue and black

Those modifications definitely make it better - but why did you lose the targeting sensors?

[Nom Carver]

What? how can I fight without targeting sensors? seriously, where are those supposed to be?

Heh... The TIE/IN's targeting sensors are located on the front middle edge of each of it's solar panels, between the 2 prongs. They were present on the original LEGO model but just do a search online for it's blueprints and you'll find them.

The Rebels won't stand a chance once you're rocking' those again... ;)
