I found this toy at the Chicago Children's Museum at Navy Pier and thought I would share the photos with everyone. I don't know if it's easy to see with my photos, but can you find the very obvious error?
The wing says Discovery and the nose says Columbia if you can't see it clearly. Just thought I would share that with everyone!

Yup, I caught that from the first pic. also, i'm not sure US is written on the OMS pod, as long as we're being picky

That's okay, based on the picture, it doesn't look like the model actually has real OMS pods (which is very common in less expensive and especially smaller models).Mercergl wrote:Yup, I caught that from the first pic. also, i'm not sure US is written on the OMS pod, as long as we're being picky

I think I saw that same toy in the Dallas/Fort Worth airport a couple weeks ago. I don't take the presentation of (non-collectible) toys very seriously. However, I would hope that models would be accurate. Just enjoy it.
