You can actually get a conversion kit of the Gemini one - I have one in the stash:

The original Revell 1/48 Mercury & Gemini kits had the Rogallo kite door and doors for the landing skids.

Allen Urey built ones up with the Rogallo wing/kite (https://fantastic-plastic.com/GEMINI%20PARAGLIDER%20LANDER%20PAGE.htm)
