                        Pretty Cool man.  Did these come as one kit and How big are they?

                        All you see in the pics are a single kit.I believe the scale is roughly 1/48.

                        The base and two TIE's are one boxed kit.If you can get your hands on this kit,grab it.Easy build and good parts fit with plenty of detail.

                        very nicely done!

                        I'd like to see or do a x-wing/TIE display like that

                        As long as you can get a TIE and X-Wing in the same scale,it's definately possible.

                        It's good to see the TIE finished in the NEW HOPE colours rather than the dark blue that is normally seen.

                        Great job!

                        I think they are blue in ANH as well.They look grey until seen against a grey background.

                        Agreed!  I like the lighter colors as it catches the eye better for details.  Plus, the contrast between the solar panels and main fuselage colors really stands out better.

                        It's a kit called Imperial TIE Fighters by AMT.It's OOP,but you can still find them on ebay.These TIEs are roughly 1/48 scale.Much larger than FM.
