Default Does Anyone have a Scan of the Facecard for the Estes 1241 Mercury Redstone?

Does anyone have a decent scan of the Red Skill Level Facecard for the Estes K-41/1241 Mercury Redstone?

I think this was the only Red Skill-Level facecard ever issued.

I have scoured the internet but can not find any decent scans.

I have one, but no scanner.
It is/was the ONLY Red skill-level 5 face card ever issued.
All the other Skill Level 5 kits in that era are Boxed (Saturn V, Saturn 1B, Mars Lander); the Mars Lander originally was issued "bagged" but that was before Skill Level packaging sterted in 1973.
Once that happened, it transitioned into a boxed kit.
The first Mars Lander I built was in 1980, and that was an original 1970-ish bagged kit with a yellow hang-tag.

Just a bagged kit here, and the red has definitely faded. Even if it wasn't, there's probably no way to get a good scan of it in the bag, even if my scanner was big enough. The bag is somewhat tight, won't lay flat enough for a good photo. Well, I'm not very helpful!
