Celebrate the dawn of America’s human spaceflight program with this finely crafted Executive Series Mercury Redstone Rocket model. Standing 15 inches tall and produced in detailed 1/72 scale, this cast-molded pressurized resin replica captures the historic launch vehicle that carried the first Americans into space.

The Mercury Redstone rocket played a pivotal role in the early days of the U.S. space program. Between 1960 and 1961, it completed six sub-orbital missions as part of Project Mercury, eventually launching Alan Shepard as the first American in space, followed by Gus Grissom just weeks later. This officially licensed model pays tribute to that groundbreaking era of exploration. Designed with adult collectors in mind, this high-quality resin display piece makes a thoughtful gift for space enthusiasts, history buffs, and model collectors alike. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
