k5054nz Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Based on what I've read and seen of the capsule kit this will be excellent! Although I'm a Redstone fan myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The big question - how much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick4350 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Be interesting to see how much it costs as well. The Mercury was sold out of Australia in US dollars and partly manufactured in China. Weird ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomore Shelfspace Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Always wanted a decent Mercury/Atlas, but wasn't keen on the resin kits so far available - have to keep an eye on this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerbannog Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I really hope they make good profit and that Gemini and Apollo including Titan/Saturn will follow. How cool would it be to have some modern and accurate kits of these. I am still crying at night about the great opportunity lost by Dragon ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Esposito Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 When can we expect to see these? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomMJI Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Mike I am located in the United States and ordered direct from Horizon. I received an email mid last week that my Atlas Mercury kit was shipped and is on its way to me. So we should see these popping up at the usual sources any day now! Have fun modeling Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuttle Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I am hoping a UK distributor starts importing these kits - they look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
