Project Mercury was NASA's name for our first manned space program, and on May 5, 1961, Commander Alan B. Shepard Jr. piloted Freedom 7 to became the first American in space. The other 5 Commanders included Scott Carpenter, Wally Schirra, Gordon Cooper, Alan Shepard, Gus Grissom and John Glenn.

MRC, along with Atomic City Model Engineering recreated a perfect miniature of this aircraft and it's escape tower. Measuring over 2 feet tall, this miniature piece of history is incredibly detailed with attention to detail that will astound you. The Mercury capsule's corrugated exterior is fully covered with rivets, engraved markings and every detail of the original. The interior detail contains the instrumentation along with a vinyl Astronaut figure to add to the realism. The three rocket, red escape tower is there too, and on the original would have rocketed the capsule to safety if there was a problem with the Redstone launch vehicle. Can be displayed in various flight configurations - deployable destabilizer open/closed.

This is an impressive model, and the space modeler can build any one of the six legendary Mercury capsules.

Durable & protects well
I’ve had this case for a few months and it is holding up great. It is bright and easy to distinguish from other tablets & devices in our home. My iPad 2025 snaps securely in place. I have dropped my iPad many times and this case has protected it every time. I love the rotating feature of this case as well. I highly recommend this brand in whatever color you decide

Sturdy
The case is pretty substantial. The color is nice and I love that you can swivel my IPad for viewing. The only thing that I would change would be to have the pencil holder be removable or let it fold back if you don’t need it.

Great case for the money
Color: Tea Brown
Love the case. Installation was an easy Perfect fit. The leather seems to be fairly scratch resistant. which was important for me working construction. I do not have an Apple Pencil so I can not speak on that portion of the case. The keyboard back light changes colors, I prefer to keep it on a softer setting. It doesn't take long to charge, and connects via bluetooth seamlessly . The magnet could be a little stronger, but it does work fine.
