Description :

Desktop model of McDonnell's Dyna-Soar Re-entry Vehicle with USAF livery. We believe this is a relatively rare 1960s model from Topping although there is no maker's label present. In grey with red & yellow underneath to simulate re-entry. This small model was created when the company was verifying the heat shields on the Dyna-Soar X-20 project vehicle.  This model is heavy for its size, so we believe it is solid resin. Mounted on a clear Lucite base labeled in black "McDonnell Asset". In excellent overall condition with a small scrape above the logo - see last photo. 

CORRECTION TO THE ABOVE: Many thanks to one of our expert bidders for the heads up: the above description is not totally accurate. The model is not of the re-entry vehicle itself, but actually from the ASSET program. He was kind enough to provide us with the link with the correct information :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASSET_(spacecraft)



Dimensions : 3.75 in L x 2.5 in H
