Does anyone have an opinion on how desirable these two models might be?

Both are contractor's models from Pacific Miniatures. One is a standalone Boeing X-37B model, the other is shuttle Columbia with X-37B as its payload. They are high quality, heavy, with metal and resin cast parts it seems at least.

Pacific Miniatures is the typical "go too" company that manufactures use for display models. The X-37B is a nice model but typical of what is out there for an earlier model, but not it is not in operational livery.

The Shuttle with X-37B is interesting as a concept model. The use of Columbia livery is interesting, indicating this was a concept in the 1990-2003 time frame. The stand configuration puts it in that era as well.

What scale are the models? And if that is not known what size?

All times are CT (US)
