Accurate Models 1:12 scale Gemini Astronaut

[HL-10]

Accurate Models are making a 1:12th scale Gemini Astronaut sat in his ejector seat:

 

 

They are also planning to make the Gemini capsule also, in the same scale !  null

Now a Gemini Spacecraft in 1/12 to fit it into would also be rather welcome!

My thoughts as well.

Typical - now that I sold on my 1:12 Mercury to concentrate on smaller scale... Maybe better - will save me a hell of money 😉

Captain Cardboard/Atomic City had a 1/12 Gemini slated to follow up their Mercury, but after the Mercury kit bombed, it was quietly shelved.

 

I'm not sure how interchanagable a Gemini Astronaut is with the Mercury kit?

Gemini suit (Neil Armstrong)

 

 

Mercury suit (Walter Shcirra)

 

 

can't see too many obvious differences.

The similarity is superficial. I can see a lot of detail differences in the hose connection points and the harness configuration. The helmet is quite a bit different as are the boots. This should not be surprising. The Gemini suit had to cope with the rigours of an EVA whereas the Mercury astronauts were strapped in their seats from launch to splashdown.
