I wonder where the nosecone for the Python came from, the odd shape with at least 5 different conical shaped portions took quite some time to accurately draw for the RockSim simulation and 3D print. I think this is a great looking kit and I am trying to figure out what scale model I might be able to use the nosecone for now that I can easily print them.
