Hey All:Has anybody seen this yet? http://www.moonspacesuits.com./dev/MA7.htm Click on the arrows and you'll see more shots. It's crazy in it's detail...a true museum piece. It's a highly modified custom 1/12 Mercury spacecraft. A real, scaled parachute resides in the parachute housing and the dails and buttons on the control panel light up. Definitely a high end item. I saw the one Larry McGlynn bought and it's beautiful. Moonspacesuits.com has outdone itself on this one. I'm saving up to hopefully get one for Christmas. I'd love to get it signed. Rob

Rob,The model is great. Besides being over two feet tall. I had the model custom fitted with the Sigma 7 package which included an flashing emergency beacon. The capsule also includes parachute displays and the cockpit panels light up. It also includes a small digital player that plays a brief excerpt of Schirra's mission transmissions. It is a lovely model.
