7146 TIE Fighter

7146 TIE Fighter is a 169 piece Classic Star Wars Set released in 2001 for $20.00. It includes a TIE Pilot and a Stormtrooper. It is included in K4479 TIE Fighter & TIE Bomber Kit.
== Description ==
The TIE Fighter is made up of three subassemblies: the two wings and the cockpit. The wings are hexagonal with a radial blue pattern. They each have a 2x2 round Imperial symbol and are solid, unlike the wings of Darth Vader's TIE Fighter, which bend.
The cockpit opens up when the top is pulled up to place a TIE Pilot minifigure inside. There are two lasers and a radial viewport. It connects to the wings with a TECHNIC/System piece.
==Background==
TIE Fighters were the original models for the upgraded TIE Bomber, TIE Interceptor, TIE Defender, and many more. They were the backbone of the Imperial Navy's feet. The TIE Fighter was fast and highly maneuverable, but its major weakness was that it could be destroyed in one hit, so TIE Fighters were often dispatched in large numbers to overwhelm the enemy. TIE Fighters participated in many battles, such as the Rebel Alliance's attack and destruction of the Death Star and the Death Star II.
