The model is set upon a circular wooden base, 9.5″ in diameter, with affixed plate: “Apollo Vehicle Configuration for Lunar Landing Mission.” Includes its original 26.25 x 19.25 x 8.75 North American Aviation shipping suitcase, with the handle side featuring an affixed Rockwell International Corporation label and metal nameplate.
