This is another kit that can apparently be turned into something else quite easily. As Gauchito is based on the Little Joe II, supposedly all that is needed to be done is small redesign on the fins to make it look like the Apollo Little Joe II. The scale will be closer to 1/100 for the Joe.  The capsule actually fits the Estes Saturn V as well!!!

The Estes Gauchito is a 1:55 scale version of the Pablo de Leon & Associates Gauchito spaceship. This retro-looking Little Joe II design uses Estes mini engines. The Estes Gauchito launches up to 300 ft using the A3-4T.
