The TIE / d defender multi-purpose star fighter of the Sienar fleet systems, TIE defenders for short, was further developed from the TIE Advanced x7 as part of the TIE Advanced program under the supervision of Grand Admiral Demetrius Zaarin.
After the TIE / in interceptor only briefly secured space combat superiority in the theater of war, the Empire's researchers had to look for a solution. As a result, the TIE defender was soon presented. It was the most universally usable hunter of the TIE series of the Empire, but also one of the most expensive, so that it was often only found in relatively small numbers. It was equipped with four laser cannons, two medium ion cannons and two rocket launchers. Prototypes dispensed with the ion cannons and had six lasers installed. Unlike many other TIE models, it was also equipped with protective shields and a hyperdrive, which resulted in a lower loss rate among pilots. He was also particularly fast and maneuverable, so that he served as an excellent space superiority fighter. 5 VSY, its propulsion systems were superior to those of a T-65B-X wing. The construction of the new class was supervised by Grand Admiral Zaarin. He also designed the TIE / AD-Avenger together with Darth Vader. The TIE / d was to be deployed in squadrons of four fighters each, who, with the help of their hyperspace drives, were to patrol wide areas independently without having to rely on a carrier ship. At the time of the Battle of Endor, however, only one season, the Onyx Season, was completed, which was used in this very same season.
The model consists of 206 parts, with the solar panels being the largest parts in the kit.
The model is very easy to build and is therefore something for beginners and inexperienced.
