That model is now on display at the Seattle Museum of Flight.
Is there any background to share on how this exhibit got placed, who curated it etc?
…and if there are plans or even a kit to make this rocket?
Sorry I’m late. Thanks for your interest. The rocket pictured is Nautilus, a successor to Nemo, which Is the rocket hanging in the Museum of Flight. There is a thread here that describes Barbicane, which is the latest in this series, and a bit more, um, elaborate, but the basic construction is the same: centering rings to shape the hull, stringers, panels, lots of fun detail after that. Late in that thread there is a pictoral sequence showing how Nemo was built. Hope that helps!
Yep. It's way up high in that fusillade display, so it's kind of hard to see.
