Estes Harpoon #1915
I'd like to thank David Scigs (scigs30) for sending me the plans and templates for the Estes Harpoon. You can find them at the link below.

I would have thought Estes would still have BINS of those left.
They didn't sell many

That nose cone appears to be the same one used with the Centuri Sky-Lab kit.

Skylab and Centuri Bukk Rogers Laser Lance as well ( which as far as I can tell was never used for anything in the series; pure made up nonsense)

It is. I just posted the following text in scigs build thread for this kit: "Interesting on the retro fit of the old Centuri Skylab nose cone. I never realized Estes resized the the connector end of the mold to fit a different tube. Originally, the Centuri Skylab cone fit the Centuri #10 cone, which had an ID of 1.00 inches." =========================== The connector end of the nose cone for this particular kit does look a bit different than the original Centuri cone.
