Even antique and collectable instruments from the wars (pick one), like astrolabes, geiger counters, meters, gauges, etc. Fossils, bones, rocks to robots—you name it. It didn't have to be new. If it was scientific in nature, they had it.

If the rocket came from an Edmunds store—it could have come from anywhere (based on my limited experience).

With all that, I did have a '69 Centuri rocket with a soft(ish), two-part, vinyl nose cone. It's the only one I've run across, but it was not in the size range you mentioned. It was much like the red one astronwolf described above.

Open up the link, scroll down to page five and read instruction #21

It is the Centuri-Enerjet Nike Smoke. They tell you not to paint the N/C and that it is made of a flexible type plastic. Oh, and it's long too!

Oh and it uses 'E' and 'F' motors.

BT is 1.64

After this I give up!
