Wow...thank you very much, Earl! Regarding the "extra" fin sets, there are two ways to make those into complete Akela-1 kits (which could use Sandman's duplicate Akela-1 decals):
Semroc offers both the #7 body tube in the length used in the Akela-1 kit and the balsa equivalent of the Akela-1's nose cone. Also, Sirius Rocketry, as part of their "Moldin' Oldies" product line, offers molded resin duplicates of the Akela-1 nose cone (using RTV rubber molds made from the original plastic nose cones).
