Vector-V
Title: Vector-V
Kit number: KV-44 Background Information brief: The Vector-V was released in the 1972 Centuri Catalog with an availability date of February 1, 1972. Since it used fiber fins, they could be glued on in many different ways to make it one of the earliest customizable kits. The same fins would be used in the future Akela and Viking kits. It was introduced as Catalog No. KB-2 and retailed for $1.50. The Semroc Retro-ReproTM Vector-VTM is very close to the original version. The original plastic nose cone has been replaced by a balsa equivalent for a more retro look and feel. The shock mount has been replaced with a newer Kevlar mount. The original die cut fiber fins are replaced with laser-cut high quality mat board for crisper and easier to finish fins. Designer: Centuri Release Date: 06/27/2010 In Production: 2010-2014 Requested attachments: Fin patterns (200 dpi grayscale PDF) Decal scan (600 dpi color PDF) Last edited by 5x7 : 03-28-2023 at 02:41 AM. |

Archived Semroc product page:
https://web.archive.org/web/2014041...s.asp?SKU=KV-44 Soft release announcement: “06-27-2010, 02:51 PM Carl@ Semroc A few new releases Finally finished up on the ones that we were working on for NARCON!” Then the official announcement, posted on thier website: Just in time for the summer flying season, Semroc has released three new kits. The Centuri Orion™ is based on the Larry Brown design from 1971. Although sharing many details from the Saturn 1B and Saturn V, it was in turn based on an even more futuristic design that his father had built years before. A great demo ship that is perfect for all modelers. The level of detail can range from little to master craftsman. The Excalibur™ is a Retro-Repro™ version of an early Centuri kit from 1972. It is over two feet tall and performs well on a wide range of engines. Fiber fins make it an easy to finish kit. If you like two-stage action, we have also released the #8 Booster kit that Centuri added to convert the Excalibur™ to an Excalibur 2™. If you order an Excalibur before July 1, 2010, we will include the #8 Booster free with your order! One of the earliest customizable kits was the Centuri Vector-V™. We have recaptured some of that fun with our Retro-Repro™ Vector-VIM. See how many unique ways you and your friends can build this bird. Last edited by 5x7 : 04-01-2023 at 01:44 PM. |
