1/48 Revell Mercury 

Spacecraft:  "Friendship 7" 

Model by Steve Sliger & Photo by Robert Sliger

--------------------

 

Here is my Revell Mercury Spacecraft.  I used the excellent RealSpace Models (www.realspacemodels.com) resin conversion set to replace the in accurate parts of the kit.  Other than that, the rest of the kit is out of the box. I used decals from New Ware (http://mek.kosmo.cz/newware/) to represent John Glenn's "Friendship 7" capsule. The model represents the capsule in the "in orbit" configuration.   I placed my model on brass tubing to a wood base with a copy the "Friendship 7"  mission patch under plastic sheet attached with 4 small wood screws.

Hope you like it.

Steve
