Nice job!!!
Anybody who has ever built then Mercury Atlas should fly it once.
Then retire it to a place of honor and be thankful it came back in one piece.

One of my all time favorite kits but getting harder to find and with no re-release on the horizon, combined with the many hours of build time you put in one. Losing one two be hard.
