Description
A sensational highly-detailed Vostok model
Soviet Vintage All-Metal Vostok Spacecraft Model Presented by
the Soviet Union's First Eleven Cosmonauts in Space to Ivan G.
Borisenko, Soviet Sports Commissar. An absolutely stellar model
of the Vostok spacecraft with a sensational story. Standing
approximately 7.5" tall, 9.5" long (not including the antenna
projections), and weighing approximately 6 pounds. This particular
model was presented to Soviet commissar Ivan G. Borisenko as a sign
of appreciation from the first eleven cosmonauts to fly in space:
Yuri Gagarin (Vostok 1); Gherman Titov (Vostok 2); Andriyan
Nikolayev (Vostok 4); Valery Bykovsky (Vostok 5); Valentina
Tereshkova (Vostok 6); Vladimir Komarov, Konstantin Feoktistov, &
Boris Yegorov (Voskhod 1); and Pavel Belyayev, & Alexei Leonov
(Voskhod 2). Borisenko was tasked with being the first to
officially meet cosmonauts after their return from space, and also
correcting and verifying the records of their flights. Adhered to
the 9.5" x 4" base is a plaque that translates to: "To Dear
Borisenko I.G. from the first selection of cosmonauts. 26.04.1971."
This truly is a model that would be and excellent addition to any
private or institutional collection. COA from Zelos Auctions in
Moscow included. Appears to be missing one mount and two antennas
to one side (easily repairable)., otherwise very fine.
