Hi, just thought id knock this one out whilst im doing the mercury atlas,s,...im using the glencoe 1/48 jupiter c kit,plus the New ware 1/48 resin conversion kit,and as im just doing the external version,im using martins models mercury capsule and escape tower off his atlas kit,also using martins models version of the decals as well...
its a bit of a mixed bag of bits,i could of just made the dragon version,in1/72,but ive got some glencoe jupiters that are a bit old now,and sitting in a box is not doing them any good?as ive found the oldest ones are slightly twisted?dont know why.....old age,they are the old type white plastic,and going by the box design and art the first or second issue,so getting near fifty year old,...so time they were built.
im using martins models mercury capsule,because it has the later type windows in,not the porthole type of the first launch,doing that next?
The new ware conversion kit is just the added on cylinder of the booster rocket,as the glencoe jupiter is shorter,and the clamps that hold the capsule in place,
thats the bits,so lets get on with it.....
cheers Don
