Don’t know if you guys remember the wind tunnel models I found a few years ago but, we finally got the 1/20 model cleaned-up and a small display built at the Hill Aerospace museum. It’s not much but at least some of the stuff is out for the public to enjoy.

Here’s my webpage where I describe the find.

Here’s the display at the museum.

Nice Joe,

It needed to be out in the open for all to see.

That has to rank among the greatest finds, Dice.
