I got out my Rockets of the World Book and did the math. Scale wise the tube should be 12.701. Add in .160 for the thickness of the fin adapter brings the total height or length before the plastic capsule and with out the engine bells 12.861. The 12.5 length that Estes supplied with the kit may have been a little short but it was not the first time that they took liberties with scale kits.
