"APOLLO MODEL - - One-twentieth size engineering model of the Apollo Block-I Spacecraft 012 Command Module."
Spacecraft/Command Module 012 was that of Apollo 1.
The scale cited would make the diameter of this model 7.7". Note the seam, so I assume it’s hinged to reveal the interior. I wish I had a photograph of that!
‘Technically’, the two roll reaction control system thrusters on the left should’ve been depicted as ovals...in order to induce such roll.
Hence, I'm certain this is misidentified as an "engineering model" and does not provide useful or representative engineering data of any sort. It doesn't even look wind tunnel worthy. But it is a really cool desktop model!
