Product Description
This tower is strictly for my Mercury Capsule MR-3 design for the Redstone booster, as well as the new Mercury Atlas capsule cone. At 1/35 scale it is the same scale as the Estes rocket originals .Do not confuse this with my Little Joe tower, which is a different escape rocket design for that prototype capsule as well as being a different scale (BT-70 tube based). Also this model is not a replacement for the Estes Capsule escape tower as that is semiscale, and incompatible. See my two capsules to match with this tower, Freedom 7 , and Liberty Bell 7.
If printing White Plastic, I recommend using medium or thin CA to stiffen the truss, as it really works. If there are warped members,its from ship/packing and are temporary. Straighten out before CA and you should be fine.
If buying Grey PA12, its good to go as-is, but the pop red paint using white primer to start.
