I haven't seen another example of this in my own searching, so I am wondering if anyone could identify the maker of this Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) model. There is no maker's mark on the base. It was either modeled without the shrouds over the gas storage tanks or they are missing.

I don't know for sure who made this model but my guess would be either Rockwell or NASA in-house model shop. It looks suspiciously like the model in Deke Slayton's WSS portrait photo. |

That's definitely the same model in the photo, I can see on mine where the (antenna?) on the Soyuz solar arrays have detached. Another reference on Worthpoint for an old ebay listing has it coming from the MSFC Graphics and Models branch. |

Would be be possible to get photos of the antennas of the Soyuz on the tips of the solar arrays? |

Mine's missing. It's real tough finding pics of this model. |

I have several photos of the model (e.g. in the Russian ASTP crew civil clothes portrait). Email for scans. |

I know this is "slightly" off topic but, being a spacegeek and furniture builder, I love the butterfly splines in your oak table top. I love the model as well, ASTP is one of my favorite missions. |
