This is a spacecraft model.
A detailed plastic model assembly kit from Dragon of the Mercury Redstone rocket, the spacecraft that put the first American astronauts into space! The use of slide molds means the capsule and tubular sections of the rocket are molded as separate single pieces, so there are no seams to deal with. Decals are provided for most of the black ballistic markings, but you'll need to paint the black areas at the bottom around the fins. Capsule markings provided for Freedom 7 and Liberty Bell 7, although with the capsule's larger window configuration the model only accurately builds into Liberty Bell 7 (Freedom 7 had a small porthole window). Nevertheless, this is a great kit of a very important machine! Now, when are we getting a Mercury-Atlas?
