[SleeperService]

SleeperService reporting in 1961 Little Joe 1 Flight 5B April 28 1961

 

 

This was an abort test with Shepard's flight following on May 5 1961, good job the abort system worked then....

 

I'll have the build thread started once the basic materials arrive currently on order. In 1/48 the Revell Mercury capsule and the New Ware Little Joe launcher offered in the right configuration.

Happy to add you onto this GB build list Whofan, however (to make it easier for me) I normally wait until the member has physically started a WIP thread first. Once you’ve got something running I’ll be able to link your name to your new thread. I’m a little late with a few new entries however will see to those in a few hours. So get a thread started on here and it will all be listed. 

 

Cheers and thanks... Dave

Of course you can Worms, that will be a lovely addition. Just start a build thread and I’ll pop your name down on the build list when I get the chance...which reminds me to add a few more entries which have popped in over the last few hours. 

 

Cheers and thanks.. Dave
