Dr. Zooch Mercury Redstone Model Rocket Kit

Dr. Zooch's Mercury Redstone is an "ant-scale" flying model of the rocket which carried America's first astronaut into space.

This kit may be built to represent any one of the Mercury Redstone flights- MR-1A, MR-2, MRBD, MR-3 (Freedom 7) or MR-4 (Liberty Bell 7). This kit contains NO plastic parts and is designed to be flown with the escape tower on. This is an average skill level kit- but the escape tower is a complex build and will require patience and direction following.

The kit is based on a T-60 tube and, when fully constructed stands 23.5 inches tall with a 4.15 inch fin-span and has a basic empty weight of 3.2 ounces. It is single stage and uses a standard 18mm motor, such as a B6-4 (NO engines are included with the kit). This is an average skill level kit, meaning that most modelers can build and fly it successfully. All of the primary parts are either wood or paper. So buy it, build it and make spaceflight history come alive!

  • Length: 23.5 in
  • Fin Span: 4.15 in
  • Recovery: Parachute
  • Skill Level: 2

Recommended Motors: B6-4, C6-5
