I think I just ran out of excuses.
If there is any interest I have the Pershing II Design Configuration document from April 1979. It is 6MB so posting is not possible, but if your email account can handle it and you want to know everything from the impact fuze configuration and RAM sensor to the tire pressure on the EL, then let me know. And you will be able to construct both the air burst and ground penetrator nose cones...

I think if Estes ever does a Pershing it's going to be the Pershing 1A because it's WAY cooler the the Pershing II. At least I think so and that's what counts in my book.

Hmmmm . . .
Sorry to hear that, John. There's no Pershing Ia inside at the Smithsonian or outside at White Sands so it can't be that cool. But a Pershing Ia is colorful and I presume the mold for the nose still exists so it would be cheaper.

Not sure that the cool factor led to the display at NASM. P II was the missile system specifically named by the USSR in the INF treaty. Purely and simply they wanted it gone. The NASM display (which was an inert trainer) came about due to the exchange program with the Soviets - they got a P II, we got an SS-20. I think about 15 Pershing II were saved from destruction; the casings were cleared and the warheads transferred into shapes for the Air Force.
P 1 and 1a were effective weapons in a tactical battlefield scenario but the P II scared the hell out of them Reds. When you go to the Missile Park at White Sands read the plaque for the Pershing II. Paraphrased it states that a Pershing II fired from Boise Idaho could accurately strike a target the size of the park in which you are standing - about a 200 foot CP
