Description :

Desktop model of a US Air Force X-20 (also known as the Dyna-Soar) at the beginning of the space program (1957 - 1963). This model is quite heavy - appears to be solid resin and is undoubtably vintage. Very little identification on the model itself other than USAF decals and a plaque on the base reading "X-20". On clear, unusually thick Lucite base with permanent mounting. 

The aircraft was never put into service as the production was cancelled just as the first aircraft were under construction. We believe this is a vintage contractor model circa 1959 given the heft, lack of advertisement of the manufacturer, and the very heavy Lucite mount. Model is in great condition for its age (over 60 years) with occasional small paint flecks missing as shown in the last photos. There has also been some abrasion on the Lucite base - both of these flaws are miniscule; the piece still shows exceedingly well as you can see in the photos.

Measures 6.5" H x 13.5" L. 7.75" wingspan. Lucite base is just under 1" thick.
