Review: TIE Advanced by Jerac / Brick Vault [MOC]

[@brickcats]

Reddit user L-Digital82 has a great way to easily mod the cockpit to use the newer and less expensive 4x4 hatch using one Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Arm Up (Horizontal Arm 5mm) (4623b) - link here: www.reddit.com/r/legostarwars/comments/pq9w6c/jerac_tie_advanced_finished_easily_modded_to_fit/

Brickcatz with the goods as always

[@anthonywilson8778]

I've yet to see anyone go as in depth in a moc review as you, well done and keep up the good work. Hope you keep getting all of the brick vault mocs I'm looking at lol

[@brickcats]

Thank you, I pride myself on the details and it helps that I am cheap :-)

[@CommandoBrickLEGOstarwars]

Brickvault really knocks it out of the park with every build this one is no exception it is beautiful!

[@baconbriqs]

I always enjoy watching your reviews! So in depth

[@brickcats]

Thank you!

Fantastic review!!! I've built a few of Jeracs tie fighters, but I had a lot of trouble with this one. Everytime I attached the wings the thing shattered on me. It was quite frustrating but finally got it to go. Not a big of of the hinge wing connections but it looks really good. Love your content.

[@brickcats]

Thanks! Yeah it took me a couple of tries as well but it's very similar to the bomber so I kind of knew how it was going to go.

Another awesome review! You're always a pleasure to watch ^^

[@brickcats]

Thank you! Love your insta posts with the mocs and custom jobs you do.

[@VWINGforthewin]

I absolutely love your reviews, and your hitting a niche I love to see, being the custom or MOC world. However, if you could also add side by side comparisons sections, that would be awesome! Especially for the different versions of the X-Wings you’ve built, as I’ve built Jerac’s one, and wanted to see how Fuku Saku’s one scaled with it. Otherwise, keep up the awesome work!

[@brickcats]

Thank you for your comment. I've kind of stopped putting a bunch of comparison photos in the videos for a few reasons, but mostly because it is majorly inconvenient for me to take a bunch of them every time I build a new model. However I am happy to put some on IG specifically of these two.

[@TannerC12345]

Just discovered your channel and appreciate the in-depth review! One question - did you have any troubles with the maxifig ball-joint hands that hold the two front sections in place, or was that a substitution? I was thinking of replacing those with part 24067, but didn’t know if it would fit.

[@brickcats]

I didn't have any trouble with that particular section. 24067 doesn't seek to be the right piece, at least I am not finding a likely candidate in Bricklink. If you clarify which element you're looking at I might be able to help.

[@TannerC12345]

@@brickcats My mistake - I thought 3614b was rarer / more expensive than it really is. My thought was replacing 14704 and 3614b with 11476 and 24067 respectively. However, I'm looking back now and seeing 3641b only averages at $0.26 USD used in yellow. Keep up the great reviews! Thank you for the quick response!
