My father received this model back in late 1969 when he left the Apollo program and accepted an overseas assignment in Singapore. Somewhere along the way, the capsule and escape tower got lost.

Might anyone know someone who could make a new top? Construction is a light wood, maybe balsa I would guess. My thanks in advance.

You might look on Shapeways and have one 3D printed for you. Michael Key has some great looking Apollo stuff on there. You would probably need to figure out the scale of your model first, and maybe he could produce one the correct size for you.
