Small Rocket Kit Conversions
By
Ed Kotapish
When I was a kid I bought several AMT Man in Space kits to get extra Atlas parts to make the two Gemini target vehicles. I wished there were parts I could buy to make the conversions that looked better than the wooden dowels and plastic carvings I ended up with.
Update 04 APR 2023
I added, hopefully, a 1/144 version of the Gemini Agena D target vehicle in the On-Orbit configuration. Be careful when ordering, there's a 1/200 version lurking out there too!
I'm retired now so I'll see if enough info survived our moving here to finish this 1/200 rocket.
The Pioneer 10/11 Launcher for your MiS collection!!! This will not require bashing a MiS kit, as the first stage is straight and longer with different tunnel fairings, etc. Besides, the 3D printed rocket cost about as much as the MiS kit.
It will be the entire rocket with some smaller details missing. Sorry, it won't separate into stages and has no upper stage aft bulkhead or engines.
