One very well known model of the Mercury Spacecraft is David Weeks' 1:48 model of Alan Shepard's MR-3. David converted the Revell Mercury Capsule to accurately represent spacecraft 7 and used two Glencoe Jupiter-C kits to build the Redstone booster.

A detailed description of this model which won the Best Spacecraft award at the 1992 IPMS/USA National convention in Seattle Washington, can be found at: http://www.ninfinger.org/~sven/models/rms_tips/mr3.html
