Marvelous set of five 1:100 scale conceptual International Space Station (ISS) models handmade by master craftsman and model maker Isao Hirai of Hawthorne’s Scale Model Company. These high-fidelity models offer an impressive visual history of the evolution of a world space station designed for scientific pursuits in low Earth orbit. Commissioned for companies like Boeing and Rockwell International between the 1970s and early 2000s, the set includes notional space station models for the Dual Keel, the Freedom, the Freedom Evolution, the Alpha, and the current version of the ISS. Each model is constructed of metal and composite materials, with model dimensions ranging in size from 43˝ x 30˝ x 17˝ (Alpha) to 63˝ x 48˝ x 17˝ (Dual Keel). In overall fine condition, with Freedom missing one solar array and a seam to its central boom junction in need of restoration. An awe-inspiring quintet of artisanal concept models that visually document the multi-decade design evolution of the International Space Station.
Originates from the collection of craftsman and model maker Isao Hirai.
