Nice looking model of the Soyuz Descent Module in post-landing configuration. Weird colour choice though. Russian made, shipping from the Netherlands! Now to convince them to produce the other two-thirds of the spacecraft as well...

The descent module is a companion to DIP Models' line of recovery vehicles: They also produced the descent module in its "burnt" post-reentry color as a limited edition product (now sold out).

These are some very detailed models and I assume to detail the real thing. Interesting that there's an orange model of the Soyuz. Is this a "primer" or an actual "flight" paint scheme? To me the orange suggests a training capsule and possibly one for a water egress. Thanks again!

These models are very well detailed (down to the ISS Expedition decals applied near the driver's and passenger's windows on the Blue Bird all-terrain vehicles).

And yes, an orange Soyuz mockup is used for survival training.
