Mockup

Mercury Redstone

US Space & Rocket Center, Huntsville, AL
This example of a Mercury Redstone has a well detailed boilerplate capsule and Escape Tower.  Other than that, this is one of the poorest examples I've seen. The upper roll pattern is too short, missing the top band of  'checkers'.  None of the 8 actual MR's used a 'USA' logo, rather all were labeled 'UNITED STATES'.  It's does sport the proper rollpatern on the fin area, something the MRs at KSC lack.  This glaring example of poor research needs to be rectified as soon as possible.
