Looking at my new T.I.E Advance cards and came across Maarek Stele. he was know for flying the T.I.E Avenger.
seem like it would be a simple conversion. take the wings off the advance, turn them around and cut a slant into the front part of the solar arrays.
i dont have the funding to be able to try this at this moment in time but its an idea for some one to try, would be nice to see Maarek in his T.I.E Avenger.

Very nice, but still a little bit off. The after center solar panel sections should be absent as well.

yes, the only problem is if i move the panels any further forward, the back seems to stick out too much.
thank you for your thought captain, ill look into it now.

If you look at some dorsal views of the Avenger, it seems like it is trimmed down a lot from the Advanced to allow for this. Of course, most images don't seem to use the spherical cockpit, either, so your interpretation is more than suitable, I'm sure. I wouldn't recommend cutting down that fuselage unless you're very confident.

ok, besides a little repainting, i think ive got it

That is just about jaw dropping… 
it looks awesome… so, what would it take to reproduce? I can see a cottage industry of conversions starting up with the delay in the roll out…

Very nicely done :)
What did you use to make the rear protrusions?
Aw yeah, that's wicked. Now for the Defender!

Very impressive! I am a big fan of your conversion, it looks great!
X Wing is crazy addictive!

Looks like he used the front part cut off at a different angle, moved back and glued on.
Be Seeing You.
I like the more recent images. They make it look a lot better now and I see you seem to have reduced waste to zero. Very nice.

thanks for the compliments guys.
and yes, i used the off cuts from the front to make the rear blades.
and the conversion took only an exacto-blade and super glue. i heated the blade to make the cuts easier.
ive also timmed the center section back fully, ill post another pic when ive finished the re-paint.

That thing just looks deadly -- the way Maarek Stele is supposed to be!
Some people play to win. I play because it's one of the few ways to fly an X-wing here on Earth!
When can we expect to see your TIE Bomber mash up ;)
could be difficult. but i think i may have to attempt the T.I.E Defender next!!!
