Vector Models – America’s Ambitious 1990s Supercar Attempt

TL;DR: Vector scale models here come from BoS Models, in 1:18 resin, covering Supercars from the 1990s. Vector Motors' independent, aviation-influenced approach to supercar design gives this niche resin collection genuine engineering interest.

Vector Motors set out to build an American supercar that could genuinely rival Europe's best, drawing on aerospace-influenced design thinking to produce a wedge-shaped machine that looked like nothing else on the road in its era.

Vector Resin Models From BoS Models

BoS Models builds this range in sealed resin at 1:18, a construction choice well matched to Vector's sharply creased, wedge-profile bodywork, where crisp panel lines matter more than opening doors ever could. Resin's surface precision suits a subject defined almost entirely by its dramatic exterior silhouette rather than interior accessibility.

• Sealed resin construction: suits Vector's sharply creased wedge bodywork.
• Panel-line precision: the defining quality signal for this angular subject.

A soft or rounded panel line would immediately undermine what makes a Vector model convincing.

An Independent American Ambition

Vector's 1990s existence was defined by ambition that consistently outpaced the company's resources, an independent manufacturer trying to compete with far larger, better-funded European supercar makers on genuine engineering terms rather than simply borrowing their styling cues. That underdog story is part of what makes the marque worth collecting on its own merits.

A Niche Addition to a Supercar Shelf

A Vector model adds a genuinely different American perspective to a supercar collection otherwise dominated by Italian and German marques, its resin construction and dramatic wedge shape standing out immediately against more conventional company. It suits a collector drawn to automotive ambition as much as outright success.
