What item of Secret Projects memorabilia would you most like to own

[uk 75]

Years ago a chap I worked for had a large manufacturers model of TSR 2. I still covet that model.

What would others like to own?

Partly translucent vintage airliner models (clipper flying boats especially) have always been highly desirable (and altogether unattainable) for me...

Blueprints and company brochures make me dream... but then I've always been more of a "paper" guy.

 

[Schneiderman]

I have a nice collection of Schneider racer car radiator mascots but what I would really like is the large model here;

The owner is mistaken about it having been awarded to Stainforth, the Stainforth family have confirmed that, but it is a superb piece of modelling

There's a certain museum in California that has, in a back room, a transparent-body manufacturer's display model of the production-variant Navajo.

If I'd had a four-foot-long bag with me that day...

I wouldn't mind having that Isinglass/HGV/HAVE SPACE/whatever it is model, and the associated RL20/XLR129 mockup.

 

[Kryptid]

Display models, of course! Of the ones I've see on this site...I'd go with the Boeing ATF, the Rockwell pre-stealth ATF, the Boeing NGAD/ADF, and probably plenty of others.


If I had anywhere to put it, the full-sized mock-up of the Rockwell F-X would be nice too. ;D

Original concept art for me, especially if its Navy related. I love ship paintings B)

You mean this one?

A Madsen M/1896 semi-automatic rifle or a Sjøgrens Carbine No 26

C-5... The very same.

 

[Bill Walker]

Manufacturer's model of the Aurora (or whatever its real name is). I promise not to show it to anybody.

 

[Thiel]

C-5... The very same.

What's that?

 

[Stargazer]

C-5... The very same.

What's that?

Re-read Reply #7. He was answering to circle-5 (shortened here as "C-5"). Nothing to do with a translucent Galaxy desktop model (though I'm sure it would also be awesome!).

The model from this film:

Now you can see the Model 49 in film:

Oh. I feel dumb now.

The original Ferri/GASL thermal compression scramjet ground test engine, which I believe is slated to be part of a hypersonic airbreathing propulsion exhibit sometime in the not-so-near future at the NASM. I have at least seen and put my hands on this at one point in the past.
