Yes, this is way cool, but I think the big news here might be Angie Everhart is working at Estes now!

I don't know who she is, but I just looked at her LinkedIn page and it says she's been at Estes Cox since 2007... what am I missing? |

Just a silly play on names.
Angie Everhart was a Sports Illustrated model and actress. TV: Caroline in the City, 3rd Rock From the Sun; movies: Arnold's Last Action Hero.

I wonder if it will depict just one round (I won't complain it that is the case), or if the stock kit will be able to be built to depict multiple rounds. The Wikipedia www.wikipedia.org article "Little Joe (rocket)" (it's one of their articles that can't be directly linked to) says that 8 Mercury/Little Joe I vehicles were flown, of which 6 were successful, including the two "monkeyed" missions that lofted Sam and Miss Sam.

I suppose they could supply the "United States" decal and let the modeller paint it according to the flight they choose, but I'm wondering if they are going to use a generic decal or match the "block" style lettering on the original? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe...Power_Power.JPG You may have to go to full magnification to see the block lettering. |

The Centuri-era Mercury capsule used in the new Estes kit has a porthole window, making it appropriate for depicting the LJ-5 round. If you're not a scale-obsessive type, though, it should be fine for either the -5A and -5B rounds, which featured capsules with the "centerline" window. I'm just thrilled that this kit is real, and that we will be able to purchase it soon! James |

Unless the change the capsule completely they won't be able to produce the early boiler plate, ones as they were completely different.
