Description

Star Wars Die Cast Darth Vader Tie Fighter Replica with Acrylic Case (Code 3, 2005). The Star Wars Die-Cast Darth Vader Tie Fighter by Code 3, released in 2005, is a highly detailed 1:38 scale replica, meticulously crafted to capture the sleek and menacing design of the Sith Lord's personal starfighter. Limited to 2,500 pieces, this die-cast collectible is constructed with a sturdy metal framework, weighing approximately 25 pounds and measuring 12 inches long, 10 inches wide, and 7 inches high. Faithfully replicating the Tie Advanced X1 as seen in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, the model features Vader's distinctive curved solar array wings, an elongated rear engine, and reinforced hull plating that sets it apart from standard Imperial Tie Fighters. The intricately detailed cockpit includes a miniature Darth Vader pilot figure, while removable panels reveal an internal structure showcasing hyperdrive systems, targeting controls, and engine components, offering an in-depth look at the starfighter's advanced design.

The display base is sculpted to resemble the Death Star's surface, serving as an authentic backdrop, while a specialized magnetic tool allows collectors to remove panels for a closer look at the meticulously crafted interior. The set includes a certificate of authenticity, an acrylic display case, a collector's patch, a custom display stand, and protective foam inserts for secure storage and transport.

More Information: The original art box exhibits handling wear along the edges and corners, with corner bends, creasing, and visible scratching and scuffing throughout. Code 3's precise craftsmanship and screen-accurate detailing ensure that this die-cast replica remains a striking representation of Darth Vader's formidable presence in the battle against the Rebel Alliance.
