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.

Errrm, I was convinced I'd sent my entry for a Mig - 15 for 1950 (first jet v jet combat) a little while ago, did postman pat not get through?

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

Just now, Worms said:

Can I do an Airfix E-Type Jag....1961 please?

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
