1/105 H1832-98 Revell Redstone Booster with Mercury Capsule
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good+
Original and only issue of this rare kit in a hardbox dated 1961. This model was hurried into production after Shepard's First US Manned Space flight on May 5, 1961. Revell took the original Redstone kit, modified it to match Shepard's craft by adding the Mercury capsule, modified the decal sheet and created the 'Newsprint' box you see. Contains Redstone Booster, Mercury Capsule with re-entry and emergency escape rockets, astronaut and interior seat, Launch Pad/Stand, Testing Unit and 3 man ground crew. Also has special booklet "Into Space". NOTE: this kit has very minor and 'professional' quality subassembly as follows to four pieces total: rocket halves assembled; two pieces of launcher assembled. There is no other assembly and zero painting. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. The decals have light age foxing to the backing paper only; the actual transfers are free of damage.
