I'd forgotten about that one! If its depicting drawing is accurate, that blast deflector was yet another design--a section of a circle, with "near edgewise" pressed-in stiffening ribs, with one bent-over section at the top where the launch lug slipped through a punched hole. (The "Fin-Kwik" also looks like it was a versatile, heavy-duty tool; I'd buy one of them, too, if Estes re-issued it...)
