The museum got back to me and said “Our donor said model 99 is of a Bell Model D218 and it was intended for cargo use. The model in the case is 1/53 scale and was built by a Mr. Gilliand and shows the tandem rotor proposal model for the line.” Additional info is found online: https://www.aviastar.org/helicopters_eng/bell_d-218.php
