I've built a few Mercury Redstone's in the past, and they were always Alan Shepard's "Freedom 7". I see this new one from Estes (Kit 1921) is suppose to be Gus Grissom's "Liberty Bell 7". Unfortunately, all Estes did was change the decal set. They did not re-tool the mold for the capsule. Liberty Bell 7's window was square, where as the one on Freedom 7 was round (like the capsule in the kit). As a stickler to detail and authenticity, I guess I'll be painting "Freedom 7" on my kit.
