My one complaint about the model is the lack of engines.


That I only have one complaint says alot.

The TIE Defender is actually a TRI-Ion Engine fighter. It does have small engines, though I am not sure if the model shows them properly.

It's very good.

But as Nitram said, the only problem is that it doesn't have any engines.

So far so good. Is this an actual physical model or CGI/rendered model?
