Another missing part: The goofy Mercury-oid space capsule used in some kits.

In one case a length of T-5 was added between the conical portion and the blunt tip. The first MPC kit I purchased, probably in late 1970, had that. (Ah, thanks for catalog link, Blackshire . . . "Redstone Maverick.")

Another: The foam saucers from the Martian Patrol. That also uses a weird cone/transition.

I built and finished a Nike Patriot last summer. A good, sturdy sport flyer. Sand and fill those sturdy "fiber" tubes and you get a great finish.

If I didn't have ten zillion unbuilt kits and projects, I'd make an upscale Moon Go. BT-60 upper section, with a BMS Gemini capsule.
