Rare wooden, hand-painted model of a Buran shuttle, 6.5″ long, signed on the wings in blue felt tip by the crew members of Soyuz TM-12, cosmonauts Sergei Krikalyov and Anatoly Artsebarsky. Model is affixed to a wooden display stand for an overall height of 7.25.″ Scattered surface cracks to body, none affecting the bold signatures, otherwise fine condition. This was signed during their visit to Chicago’s Adler Planetarium, in a joint event for Project Mutual Exchange. Krikalyov and Artsebarsky were the last Soviet cosmonauts in space, as the Soviet Union collapsed during their trip to the Mir Space Station. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.
