PROTON-M ROCKET MODEL.
Duralumin D-16 1:40 scale model, 160 cm in height, on wood and metal stand, in Roscosmos livery with Russian Federation flag, with Briz-M upper stage. Probably made by Khrunichev, after 1992.

A highly detailed model of impressive size, used for exhibition either by the Russian space corporation Roscosmos, or the rocket's manufacturer, Khrunichev. The Proton-M heavy-lift launch vehicle was first launched in 2001 and has since seen over 100 launches putting satellites into orbit. The Briz-M upper stage is the most commonly used, using its propulsion system to achieve orbital injection and place the satellite payloads.
