AMT 1/48 Star Wars New Hope Tie Fighter Model Kit

The 1/48 scale TIE Fighter from Star Wars: A New Hope by AMT recreates the Galactic Empire's most ubiquitous starfighter. The TIE (Twin Ion Engine) Fighter — with its distinctive hexagonal solar panel wings, spherical cockpit, and that unforgettable screaming engine sound — is one of the most iconic villain vehicles in cinema history. Cheap to produce and expendable by design, TIE Fighters swarmed in overwhelming numbers, reflecting the Empire's philosophy of quantity over individual pilot safety. From the trench run on the Death Star to countless dogfights with Rebel X-Wings, TIE Fighters defined the look and sound of the original trilogy's space battles. This AMT kit captures the TIE's angular aggression in detailed 1/48 scale.
