I have enough picture res to reproduce the nose cone but not too scale. to make it to scale I need the major diameter of the cone.

I will start working on it tonight. if anyone has that diameter I can make it to scale. attached is the 1/2 outline of the cone (I am going to use this to revolve a 3D Shape) but again without a dimension I can't scale it.

Here is a clean STL copy of that nose cone. its not "to scale" as I don't know what the scale is. you can of course scale it as you see fit. if someone measures the major diameter I will correct that and put it on printables/thingiverse.

ok FILE CORRECTED or at least REALLY close. looks like it was for a BT50 which is 24mm id (24.1mm) so I scaled it to that which gives a major dia or 32mm

this should be 99% their. STL corrected. if you downloaded before I edited this redownload or resize your file to 32mm

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6123387

I added an easy print threaded 2 piece version to both listing though thingiverse is being slow to update.

That is the nose cone for the original Estes Honest John kit.

BMS still lists it too:

Or you can buy the kit from the reconstituted FlisKits:

While both the Semroc and BMS cones share the "AD" designation the BMS cone is NOT the same as the Stingray/Semroc cone.
IIRC Semroc turned cones for Fliskits.
See attached pic.

Nope, not the same.
Note the turned flange above the shoulder.
Same nose cone also used in the Fliskits K'Tinga.
