Hi everyone!
Can someone please help id this model.
Here's what I remember about it: my older brother acquired it from a family friend sometime in the mid 1970's. It was a multi-stage cylindrical space craft. I can't remember exactly the number of stages, but I think there were three. The top stage was molded in metallic plastic, and had four white legs that ran it's length and would fold against it's body. You could unlock the legs by twisting the a white ring just behind the nose cone of the stage. After unlocking the legs, you could position them outward like the legs of a tripod (quadpod?). There was a single bell nozzle at the bottom end of this stage.
The middle stage was the crew compartment. The ends of the legs from the first stage mated with the fairings on the sides of the crew compartment. You can see the fairings in the pictures.
The third stage, if there was one, might have been some kind of engine.
My cloudy recollection of the box art had the first and second stages separated, but attached to each other by some cable.
This is all that's left of the model. I'm not sure what happened to the rest of it, but I managed to save this part.
Any ideas?
Thanks
