ETA-2 Actis inceptor
Near the end of the Clone Wars the Jedi used a new starfighter, the ETA-2 Actis Interceptor. This tiny ship is barley 10 feet long but is extremely well armed and very maneuverable. It carries an R2 unit on the left mandible for in-flight repairs and controlling routine systems. The wings extend for flight and retract for landing.
I created this figure after seeing the publicity shots for Revenge of the Sith. I must have spend 3 weeks and four reams of paper trying to create this model, but I wasn’t happy with any of the results. As always seems to happen in these cases, I was making Patricia Crawford’s model of a full-rigged ship when I stated wondering what else could be made with this unusual starting base. Ten minutes later the Starfighter was born.
