You might be able to turn up a partial or busted up Maqxi-Force or Impulse kit, if that's the same dia as the Jayhawk cone ? - although would not have th emolded -in bases for the antennae.

While both the Jayhawk and Maxi-Force nose cones fit the Estes/NCR BT-25 (2.5") airframe, the two nose cones are of different lengths. The Jayhawk nose is 11.5" long while the Maxi-force nose is only 9.75" long. Obviously as Al points out, the molded features of the Jayhawk nose are also missing on the Maxi-Force nose. Short of tracking an available Jayhawk nose down, a modeler would have to make one for this scale.

The picture below compares the two noses - the Jayhawk at the top, the Maxi-Force at the bottom. Please excuse the parallax!
