An original alien attacker "agile fighter" filming miniature from the Ronald Emmerich film Independence Day (20th Century Fox, 1996 ). This filming miniature is composed of hand-painted fiberglass, with additional plastic elements present throughout.

This type of filming miniature was designed for scenes in which the attacker would be seen inside the mothership. This model has been wired for electrical components including an illuminating cockpit and cannon, although these elements have not been tested. A mount located underneath the miniature allowed the model to be used by the special effects team for flying sequences during production.
