New Estes Mercury Redstone Kit Run

I had heard that Estes corrected the decals on the Mercury Redstone kit. I saw the new kit run yesterday at Hobby Lobby.

The face card is now a black background, much like the Saturn V (#2157) and new Little Joe II.
The vertical UNITED STATES decal looks to be a darker red, the plastic capsule and tower parts still look pink to me.






The "MR8" is a correction builders are looking for. You can see it above the fins.
MR8 designates the Liberty Bell 7 flight.

Thanks to Estes for listening and making the corrections.
