Stratosphere Models – kits for X planes, NASA spacecraft and more

Here’s a message from Stephane Cochin of Stratosphere Models:

Stratosphere Models produce the finest, high quality, pressure cast models of X-Planes and NASA spacecrafts as well as classified USAF spaceplane kits (several of which required in depth research that lasted several years).

Several of my kits were produced with the technical and research assistance of some of the biggest names in the domain of aerospace engineering, particularly for my series of hypersonic and classified spaceplanes, as well as for several of my NASA X-Planes. People who worked in high positions as chief test engineer, chief of hypersonic propulsion design or at national research laboratories.

Some particular examples include the chief test engineer for the Rockwell Int’l -NASA X-31 program, as well as professor Paul Czysz, of Parks College, formerly with the hypersonics propulsion and design department of Mc Donnell [Douglas]as well as the AFFDL lab at Wright Patterson (for my series of classified USAF spaceplanes and my research on Aurora and PWDE engines, on which he provided guidance as well as a long distance accelerated course on hypersonics).

Many other engineers and specialists have helped me along the years for several of my projects, either through their own initiative or from interviews i conducted with them concerning certain aspects of hypersonic design or specific aircrafts.

See, for example, the X-37X-38, and DC-X.
