Lot 641
Space Model, "BURAN" Presentation Model (7x5") A striking black/white wooden (?) model on a round blue/silver base (3") The two pieces are connected by an orange "Hammer & Cycle" connector. There are a couple of enamel cracks on the Buran, but this is the first time we can remember seeing a contemporary Buran model out of Russia. This Program was a knockoff of the American Shuttle Program and, when it was discontinued prior to an actual flight, the Russians were embarrassed by it and kind of downplayed it to the world. A great addition to any collection.
Estimated Value $350 - 500.
