T O P I C R E V I E WrstephenI'd really like to find high quality die-cast display models of a Mercury capsule, a Gemini capsule, and an Apollo capsule (with Lander if possible). To have them all in the same scale would be best of all. The accompanying rockets would, I suppose, be nice, but its hard to imagine the scale being the same because of the need to keep the Saturn to a reasonable size (and even then the capsules would become tiny)! I've searched everywhere, including the Smithsonian in Washington and at Mission Control in Houston... Any suggestions?John K. RochesterThere was just recently a "100th Anniversary of Flight" blisterpack by I believe Ertl that included Apollo Command and Service modules and Lunar module (along with Shuttle, X-15, Wright flyer). You may be able to still find them at Toys-R-Us. The only Mercury I've ever seen was included in the Hot Wheels John Glenn set. I've never seen a die-cast Gemini.rstephenWhen I was in Houston I went to the Center certain that I'd find what I was looking for, but even they didn't have them! There were some Apollo models (expensive, but very nice), but no Mercury or Gemini. I think I'll change my interests to NASCAR - there are lots of high quality die-cast models of cars!
