Gemini?
.
Has anyone have a recommendation for a Gemini rocket? Preferably in 1/48th scale.

That looks perfect!
I don't know if my skills are up to it, but we'll see. Thanks PhantomCruiser!

Not a problem!
Just take it slow and steady, and you'll have a very nice representation of a Gemini-Titan Be sure to post pictures! |

this is the best titan 2 have seen so far and the Gemini looks right. I was on the team that built the engines and spent many hours around the titan's

While I’ve not built Leo’s Gemini-Titan, I will say generally that his models are well designed and construction is straightforward. Study his diagrams and you should have few difficulties.
Years (and years…) ago, I re-sized one of Delta 7 Studios’ Gemini capsules to 1/48th and then scratchbuilt the Titan. That was long before Leo’s excellent model came along. Good luck! |

That looks like a beautiful job dhanners. Before I started this thread, when I decided to do a Gemini/Titan II, I also printed out a 1/48th capsule from Delta 7. But the booster didn't look like it would translate well to 1/48, hence the question.
Since I already had the capsule printed, I decided last night I would assemble it this weekend, as I can't print out Leo's model until Monday. Here's the progress so far:

Looks like you’re off to a great start!
At the risk of sounding like a dreaded rivet-counter, two things you may want to add, if you haven’t already: — At launch, the capsule’s horizon sensor (that thingie on the port side of the nose forward of the crew cabin) was covered with a protective fairing. Leo includes the part, so you could, in theory, use his. — Also at launch, the Gemini’s nose had a white cover to protect the antennas and wiring while the rocket sat on the pad and through the first few minutes of flight. Keep up the great work! |

Thanks again dhanners for the encouragement. I plan to use both with Leo's build. One of the models Delta 7 published has those details, but I wanted to build Gus Grissom's "Molly Brown". (Although, as far I can tell there isn't any visible details that illustrate it as such.) Anyway, this has been a good couple of days build for me; I expect Leo's to take me some time.

Grissom and Young’s GT-3 had a tan-colored band at the very top of the Titan. I’ve no idea why it was that color.
