German superfans spend two years building a gigantic replica of Darth Vader's Tie fighter
German superfans have spent two years building a gigantic replica of Darth Vader's Tie Advanced fighter.

The dedicated team constructed a model that weighs 1.4 tonnes and measures 16-foot-long by 14-foot-tall.

The group, called Project X1, used model kits as a starting point to replicate the craft that Darth Vader used to attempt to defend the first Death Star.

Built on a 2:1 scale, the hybrid steel and aluminum frame alone cost nearly $8,000 (£5,100).

The plastic cockpit ball ran a little over $2,500 (£1,600).

The massive structure was unveiled today at the Star Wars Celebration Europe convention in Messe Essen, Germany.
