Description
Create a historical replica model of the Mercury Capsule and Atlas Booster of 1962 with this model kit. This could be a fun supplement for those learning about modern history, or a vintage-looking spacecraft for a model-kit hobbyist. The included instruction manual features step-by-step instructions, as well as a recommended paint guide for parts, and icons for decal locations throughout the steps. Necessary for building, but not included is model cement, sharp objects (x-acto knife or other thin blade), tape, model paint, rubber bands, heated screwdriver end, and spruce cutters. Many of the model pieces are small and thin, requiring much caution when removing the burrs and connecting pieces. A small historical pamphlet is also included, featuring information about the original spacecraft and its passengers. Completed model is 20.5" long and 12.75" tall. ~ Brianna
