Mine showed up today! Nice having it in the same scale as the Saturn V at 1/96. Would like to see them re-release the 1/70 scale. I have one still in the box dated from 1968.

🙂

Apogee Rockets had or still has one in 1/70 scale  which is probably more detailed than your old Estes 1/70 scale.  They are a bit on the high side price wise but you get what you pay for.

Now if we can get enough people to go to the Estes web site and request they re-release the 1/35 Mercury Atlas and the original Gemini Titan.  Links provided to add your names to those interested.

Done.

I built the original GTII kit when it first came out. If they do re-release it I hope they replace the balsa and paper cone Gemini with a nicely detailed injection molded Gemini. 

There is a guy on E-Bay that is selling a 3D printed Gemini capsule that is made to fit the Estes BT-70 body tubes.   I think this was the original size that Estes used for their kit.   There is also a gentleman that is selling wraps for the Gemini Titan made to fit the BT-70.   I have no connection to either seller other than I have purchased both and they look very nice.

I have the Accur8 wrap, with plans to "restore" my original.

 

I have thought about asking him to resize the wrap for a BT-60 tube and combine it with the Dragon Gemini kit to get a 1/72 GT model.  I figure as soon as I finish it Horizon will finally release their GT kit.  🙂
