Any carpenter's out there? The price sounds kind of steep, no details on the size or materials either.


Thanks for the follow-up, Ken.

I see the next step as coming up with what items are to be displayed and how.

Then, a presentation to the NAR and others who may be willing to contribute $$$$ for the construction and upkeep of a display.

Perhaps a presentation to the NAR Board at NARAM-50?

I am going to inquire again with the Smithsonian about the details of the display case, size, materials. What would go into it. Where the case would be on display.
I am also going to get this in writing, so, it can be presented to the NAR for consideration.
And, I will remind them about the list of kits that they have in storage.

I just got a reply back from the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum regarding the medium display case.

There was to be a determination by the end of last month, as you can see, it didn't happen. Now, the new deadline will be by the end of February, if, the donor will come through or not.

If the donor does not, i will be bringing this up at NARAM 50.

Wanted to give everyone an update.
