Awesome find, Starbuck! These 1:1 scale "models" do look impressive. I recently found out that some fans have built a life-size Mk I Viper. They forgot to paint it around the nose (the grey stip was missing) but it looked cool. They showcased it on a covention andtook some pictures together with a re-build of Knight Rider's K.I.T.T. - SO COOL! :)

Unfortunately there is no paper model aailable yet. :(

these what you Star War fans on about? they are both simple all except for the domes again, but at least the Silencer got squished a bit and stretched out!

It reminds me of a Babylon 5 shadow vessel. I know it has its own of course. I like it and would like to build a paper model of one. Maybe even tweak it into a Klingon d7 style.

@spaceagent-9 , now that you mention it.. add a few more "arms"... and there you go!

What I can say from a purely Star Wars perspective, it's a mash of Vader's TIE & a TIE Interceptor. Again, lack of creativity from Mr Abrams. At least the TIE we saw in Rogue One was a bit better.

Well this shadow tie fighter grabs me by the poh-poh and I really like it. It's sleek and deadly looking. If I were lighting a paper sack of dog poopie on my neighbor's porch for him to come running out and stomp out in his slippers one night, I would want to be driving one of these.
