Space Models, NASA "Skylab" Model (26x24") This striking NASA 1:48 scale model is mounted on a square wooden base with a George C. Marshall Space Flight Center/Graphic Engineering and Models Division metal ID plate on one side and with a "MSFC#77283 ID tag on the other. The model is complete with two Solar Array Wings" and four individual "Solar Panels" in addition to an individual Command and Service Module attachment. All of the pieces are mounted in a custom, padded and fitted, foam shipping container with Marshall transit labels still attached. Other than some of the normal aging on the clear lucite base of the model and a minor flaw or two, it is in unually clean, complete condition. Of particular interest is the original 1975 NASA purchase order paperwork transfering ownership of the model from NASA/Marshall to North American Rockwell Space Division and a request letter from North American asking to borrow or purchase an example of this model. The original cost of the model is listed by NASA as $784.00 + $35 for the fitted carrying case. Don't you just wish!! This model is a rare find that is not often available.
Estimated Value $7,500 - 10,000.
