Enerjet had plans for a Mercury Little Joe (Little Joe I) in their Jan., 1973 newsletter. You can read about it in Chris Michealsson's blog here:

It used the same Mercury capsule currently being sold separately by Estes. With the parts list, templates, and instructions from the newsletter, it was easy to build a clone. It had nozzles made from cut off golf tees, but I left those off. And it was semi-scale, not true to scale, with the body lengthened a bit for stability.
