This is one of Steve's old TIE kits. It will have koolshade wings, cockpit and lights. I'm very excited to be building one of these.

Thanks.

Here's some of the parts after washing them.

I got the seam line sanded, and primed the ball to see where I am. I'm going to have to do a little rescribing here and there where I sanded.

Looking good! Are you planning on changing the window frame or keeping this one?

It will be cool to see what you can do with this!

I noticed the top hatch is back front. You arent gonna do this TIE? jk ;)

Youve done serious cleaning Rich, looks very good once primed ! I dont know it's designed this kit, but I think you should grind the inside edge of the top hatch to get it more flush with the cockpit ball. If you dont, you'll get a big step wich is not accurate, same with the lwoer hatch but I guess it's part of the cockpit ball.
