To be honest, I never would have imagined purchasing a lego Tie fighter before the latest Star Wars movie came out. But I was so impressed with the scenes and portrayal of the spacecraft that I ran out and bought the Special Forces Tie fighter.

I love this set and almost had not complaints at all. The only thing that bothered me was that the heavy weapons turret, attached to the underside of the cockpit, was only portrayed using tow special tile pieces. In universe this heavy weapons turret is one of the main features that sets the SF Tie apart from the standard tie. I didn't have many extra pieces to work with, but I was proud of the result.

I believe it better represents the turret in the movie and it also rotates 360 degrees. Let me know what you all think. Thanks!
