How Many SS Tie Fighters have Solar Panels with Real Louver Material

Boba Debt · 04-24-2011, 11:33 AM

I'm under the impression that there are not many that were built with the real louver material.

Does anyone know of a total number?

No one knows the answer to this?

Dave you mean the original models, right? Not replicas made by our group...?

Sorry - just clarifying your quesion. I do not know the answer, either way.

I wasn't aware that any of the filming models might have used anything but the koolshade material. Are you suggesting that they made resin versions of the koolshade?

I thought all ILM TIE's were Koolshade based? If you how many GK are built with Koolshade, not very many at all.

Forty-two.

I'm not asking about real Ties.

I'm asking how many replicas have been produced with real louvered material.

Let's consult the International Registry of Studio Scale Replicas.

Looks like I was wrong. The answer is forty-two.

What kind of question is this? OK i'll go next , how many SS Xwings are painted white.

Steve sourced enough of the newer koolshade for at least 5 TIEs back in 2006, and there was just a group of 13 orders recently filled by Matt (dragnink) for the vintage stuff. I don't remember how many were in Matt's previous run but it was probably about 20 so there's at least enough koolshade out there for 35-40 TIEs.

I have enough for 1/2 a Tie.
