Launch Complex 5 - Mercury Redstone



Local Copy
Two American Astronauts flew modified Redstone missiles in 1961 to become the first Americans in space.

This mainly Photo-etched Brass kit will depict the gantry tower used to prepare the Redstones and the Mercury capsules which would be used for these historic flights. The tower will be able to roll-back on rails, and the 'White Room' will be modelled to split-apart like the original. The kit will also include the Emergency Egress crane and launcher which the rocket stand upon.

The 1:144 & 1:72 scale kits are planned, which are aimed to work with RealSpace Models 1:144 Mercury Redstone model. I also now plan to make a 1:48 scale tower for those cutomers who wish to have a tower for their 1:48 Jupiter-C with or without New Ware's Mercury Conversion Kit. If you would like me to consider another scale, please don't hesitate to e-mail me to let me know.
