I have two Revell "History Makers" 1/24 Gemini kits, one to make-up and one I intend to store. Strangely one has been produced in grey plastic and the other in white. Which one is it preferable to build and paint or doesn't it really matter? |

I've been a space modeler since the early 60s, and I've never heard of a white molding for the 1/24 Gemini. I would hang on to that one, and build the gray one.Are the boxes, instructions etc the same for both? |

Thanks for that PeterO. Just to clarify, are you agreeing that the white version is rare apolloprojeckt? |

I've asked about the white kit on the Yahoo! Space Modelers Group. I'll let you know what I find out. |

As mentioned in another thread, I have one that was produced in a medium-brown plastic; it was the store display model from Revell at the time the kit was first issued. |

Is the exterior colour of the cockpit module grey? The paint scheme says so, although to me it has always looked blue? |
