"Friendship 7" 50th Anniversary Dr. Zooch Mercury Atlas build...

Hi all...

Here's a link to my build thread of the Dr. Zooch "Friendship 7" Mercury Atlas to commemorate the 50th anniversary of John Glenn's historic first US orbital manned spaceflight, launched on Atlas vehicle 109D from Launch Complex 14 at Cape Canaveral on February 20, 1962...

"Friendship 7" 50th Anniversary Dr. Zooch Mercury Atlas build... - The Rocketry Forum

Not strictly speaking a paper model, but uses many papermodeling techniques and materials... and this is a FLYING rocket... available from Dr. Zooch Rockets... drzooch.com

Here's a few pics of the finished product... The "Flame Fins" seen in some pics are necessary for aerodynamic stability in flight, but are easily removed for display... Enjoy!
