Uncommon and sleek 1:50 scale solid model of the Rockwell X-30 NASP (National Aero-Space Plane) originally built by Micro West of Orange, California, for McDonnell Douglas. The model measures approximately 34.5″ in length with a wingspan of 9″, and is mounted atop a wooden Retro Rocket-style base measuring 14″ x 10″ x 1″ to a height of 12″. This is an early design of the X-30 with the sharp needle nose. The model is a solid resin casting with scribed lines for detail. In fine condition, with some slight scuffs and trivial lifting to black primer near wings. Micro West was known for its high quality and craftsmanship.
