I have the cone still for my old Centrui Little Joe II.

I need to get off my duff and find a tube to build a replacement for it.

I wonder how many times that kit has been resold on Ebay in the last 5 years :-)

Buy an Estes Mercury-Atlas off of eBay or out of your inventory if you have one at home. They're the same tube. The hard part is the wraps/chrome.

Huh... that solves a mystery. I have an old built up that came with some others I picked up
on ebay. It has the stubby fins and balsa cone with no passport. I just figured that whoever
built it did't use it. It's in my 'needs to be sanded down' pile (house paint with a heavy-handed brush).

The discussion thread on the Taurus got me thinking about how a lot of folks seem to buy parts from Semroc to clone an old favorite. That let me to an idea....

How about a Semroc "Designer's Special"? It could even be patterned (number/type of parts) after the old Centuri one....

Later,

Do you have the escape tower parts also? That and the cone are the hardest stuff to clone. Maybe you could "lend" it to Mike at Moldin' Oldies
Wraps could be made from Evergreen ribbed styrene sheet, and Trim Monokote or BareMetal Foil for the silver.
I wonder if Estes has the mods for this. They obviously can make the BTs.
