FRIENDSHIP 7
Below are images of the progress I made on the 1/12 scale Friendship 7 model kit provided by Atomic City. Basically, I only used parts #3 and #4, and discarded everything else. I also added two lights, so it will be possible to see things inside more effectively. A PDF booklet describing the build will be produced when the model is completed, and will include much of the imagery here. Feel free to email me if you have questions.
