Leo's Mercury-Atlas
Just seemed the natural next model for me to do. I am doing the 1/48, but Leo does include all the parts to do a 1/24 capsule.
Started with the radio can. It was either that or the recovery section, in order to create a base to attach components to. There were a couple of formers that seemed unnecessary so I skipped them.
The crew compartment, heat shield, escape motor, and scaffolding are the biggest pieces on the sheet, leaving a lot of tiny pieces. I decided to do the retro-pack before the escape tower.
The window looks worse the closer you get to it, but I guess it's not horrible.
