The seller shrugged when I asked about the other parts and said they were used for another project...basically he didn't know where they were and he couldn't be bothered to look for them. He seemed genuinely irritated that I knew to ask.
So I took what I could get. The whole box of cones, tubes, motors and misc other parts for only $5. If only that cone had been there...

Sounds like a find to me :-)
( and yes, since they packed those in surplus range boxes, no way to tell once opened, same witht he Honest John,etc )
wish I could find goodies like that - only old rockets I;ve ever found at flea market / garage sales / etc was a really abused Saturn V and a ( painted yellow) # 1227 Honest John ( which I;ve had for years, flown a few times and am finally restoring with Phreds decals,etc ) .
Considering the lack of cash outlay in the kit - I'd go with my earlier suggestion and build it off an LOC tube / cone, would still make a nice model .
