If I remember correctly, that model was completely off target. They had a real rounded plane, where the actual thing was angular. I think they made a big deal about it's accuracy before anyone saw the real thing. Threw the dogs off the scent.

This is the one from 1987. Does not look anything like what the real one ended up being like. But it made quite a stir back then. Government Disinformation is not new, LOL.
I remembered the hubbub about it. The actual model, not so much. I remembered it as being a lot more similar to the real thing.
I guess of all the things I've lost over the years, I miss my mind the most.
