Orbital Sciences X-34 Model Tooling Master

Rare 1:15 scale tooling master model of the Orbital Sciences X-34 unmanned technology demonstrator built by Retro Rocket, from which production molds were produced. The model was CNC-milled using CAD data supplied by NASA/Orbital Sciences, measures approximately 46" in length with a wingspan of 22", and is mounted atop a wooden base measuring 14" x 10" x 1" to a height of 14.25". The model is composed of a high density urethane material covered in polyester resin, and is as accurate as a wind tunnel model. All of the parts to make this model cost Retro Rocket almost $5,000. Tooling masters like this are often damaged during the molding process and are rarely sold. In fine condition, with a few small dings to lower portion and some pitting edge of one wing.
