Joe Johnston was tasked with coming up with the new design in a hurry. Though hard to hit, even a glancing blow can destroy a TIE. Speedy and maneuverable, these fighters are nonetheless fragile. TIE fighters were typically employed en masse to make up for their shortcomings. It was only after principal photography had wrapped that Lucas decided it would be easier to tell Vader's ship apart from the others if it had a unique design. It features two fire-linked laser cannons chin-mounted on the ball-shaped cockpit.

Take care, this model needs a 3d printer with at least 210 mm. What’s more, it fits into the new cockpit of the TIE Fighter perfectly. You can follow the instructions sheet for print and assembly. That's because, throughout production, Vader's ride was the standard TIE Fighter. As he climbed and then looped backward, he could see their pursuers through the viewport atop the TIE fighter's cockpit. Clean carefully the brim and supporting parts before assembling the model.
