Yes, I know, and those models are in my to do list from long time.
The relation between the rocket I’m modeling and the rockets of the Disney’s era are well illustrated in this page ( https://history.msfc.nasa.gov/vonbra...y_article.html ). Here you can read that both were the mean that Von Braun intended to use for push forward the space conquest in the American opinion.
But Collier’s was a monthly magazine, while the Disney programs were on TV with much more diffusion and impact combined with the magic aura of the Disney art.
