Description
This model is quite small (61mm long). If you want a bigger model, I've also made a 210mm long version with more detail.
“The Vectors were as minimally designed as a starship could be. Little shielding, almost no weaponry, very little computer assistance. The Jedi were the shielding, the weaponry, the minds that calculated what the vessel could achieve and where it could go.” [From Light of the Jedi, Chapter 5]
The Vector is the Jedi Starfighter of the High Republic era. It shares many of its characteristics with later designs (i.e. the Delta-7 Aethersprite from Episode II and Eta-2 Actis from Episode III). There are two interesting differences:
I was aiming for a 1:270 scale, but couldn't find any canon dimensions (again…). So I had to go with what felt about right.
The last image shows a vector alongside a T65 X-Wing and Clone Z95 Headhunter for scale.
The wings can fold up and are print-in-place. The model with pin is compatible with a small pin and holder.
Vectors appeared in many different comics. And being comics, made by different artist, who presumably had only a few pieces of concept art to go on, they all look a bit different. My model is (mostly) based on three pictures:
Printed at 0.07mm layer height. Needs supports on buildplate.
Be carefull when removing the supports underneath the cannons. They are quite fragile.
This is an older version of this model. The changes are aestethic. The most noticable difference are the swept wings.
All the files are found in the swep wings folders.
Everything works the same with this version.
For Life and Light.
UPDATE [2024-02-04] changed model to be closer to the big model
