Revell 1/24 Gemini Space Capsule

I will be building one starting this week for a review on another website. I am really looking forward to starting this project.

Not that I need another, but this might make a good subject for a group build.

I have 2 in my stash.

LVM has a photoetch interior kit but it aint cheap ,,

There is a great NASA group build going on now at the ARC Forums. The Gemini would fit right in!

I am done with ARC forums... not a place that I care for or to be a part of...

Space model systems make a great decal set. You can get them from cult tv man. LVM photoetch interior set is very nice for the seats doors and instruments. The back shroud I have glued a plastic cup to the middle of the service module to get the proper middle distance  and using gold Mylar material as a covering.

I started building this a few months ago. Its now sitting in the box unfinished.

Sadly the excitement I had for building this back in the 60's just isn't there. Go figure!!

Its still a great kit but its a reminder of the old saying "you can't go home again".

I started mine yesterday. I am quite excited to get it built...

Seems like yesterday I saw a Revell advertisement in Scale Modeler magazine for a contest to win a full size Gemini replica............
