This is the Dr. Zooch BT-50 version of the Mercury Redstone Freedom 7. This smaller Redstone is around 13 1/2" tall. Currently, the blog header picture is the capsule and tower of the larger, BT-60 based Zooch Redstone.
This smaller tower has three vertical dowels on the outside. Thin stiff wire is is used for all the cross struts, like on the Saturn 1B tower kits.
The fins are two piece.
As I've mentioned before, these Zooch kits are favorites and a throwback to what rocket modeling was in the late 1960s through 1970s. That is - before ready-to-fly, plastic nose cones and laser cut parts.
