A single page foldout that is a graphic representation of the control panel of the MR-4 Mercury capsule. Primarily purchased as a modelling reference it has been included here due to the historical importance of the early Mercury flights. MR-4 was the second manned spaceflight undertaken by the US. The capsule was piloted by Virgil “Gus” Grissom, and is in all likelihood remembered not only for the successful flight but the subsequent loss of the capsule due to it sinking just after splashdown. The capsule was recovered from its watery grave in 1999, from a depth of nearly 5Km.
