there was so much hype in the elite TIE interceptor discussion that i can;t help to promote my pilot to the squadron member of the fame 181 squadron pilot...the only thing i change are as follows

1. Armour - ATAT driver armour
2. Belt - nylon white
3. harness- nylon white
4. red strap added to the shoulder( made from cardboard)

and u have the following final result...and good for a change...lol

Just to point out, the 181st pilots wear white flak vests, similar to rebel pilots, and not white armour.

Hasbro and their ever ending inaccurate action figures.... I just realised too that their sandtrooper actually followed the one in THE SPECIAL EDITION. Haiz...

aiya flak or armour still works the same effect...infact then why classic TIE pilot wore armour while elite squadron wore flak jacket...make bloody no sense...anyway just for fun and i think it looks pretty cool to wear armour plated chest over a soft vinyl flak jacket...definitely a sign of ego from the elite one..

Awee is right about this, their figure configuration is never accurate.

The hasbro figure showing a flak vest being worn. That is why the chest box is held in place by a harness, just like those of rebel pilots... Anyway, nice variant for a bust.
