Europa III Rocket Model

[XP67_Moonbat]

Seen a desk model for ELDO's never-built Europa III launcher. I thought I'd share that here.

Which variant, now that's the question. Look at the lower stage, if it looks like a Blue Streak or Ariane 1...

 

[Grey Havoc]

Blue Streak may be the most likely candidate.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_(rocket)Detailed account of the Europa programme. The model looks more like Blue Streak than Ariane as first stage

 

[Hobbes]

Bernd Leitenberger's book 'Europäische Trägerraketen band I' describes two variants that could be a match:
- Europa IIIB: first stage with 4 Viking 1 engines and 120t of propellant
- Europa IIIC: first stage with four RR RZ2 engines and 140t of propellant.

-Europa IIID fist stage with four HDTW engines using hydrolox
