Default ? Estes Nose Cone Canopy for BT-50 ?

An eBay seller listed this as an original Estes part for a BT-50. It looks like an Estes part. Does anyone know what kit used this type of nose cone?

There's another newer one but I forgot it's name.

Anybody?

Oh yea, the Nemesis I’ve seen that, but I do not remember seeing the Star Rider. Thanks for the replies.

It was used in a two rocket launch setup a few years back. The Spitfire was never released as a kit by itself.

Looks like Estes used a reversed P-51 canopy on that NC.
