Description:
I've been told this North American Aviation contractor model is made by Topping. It is 7"x15".
This model was used by a NASA employee to bring to schools for teaching about the space program. The model was stored in a wooden box with foam. The foam deterioriated over the years and "melted" on the model. The finish issues you see are the remains of the foam; there is also a chemical smell from the foam. I did not attempt to clean it as I'm sure a professional could do it without removing the decals.
