Default Estes Interceptor Tail Cone Length?

I'm cloning an Interceptor and would like to know the length of the molded tail cone.

Any dimension data appreciated!

From the shoulder to the tip is 5/8". The cooling fins are bevelled, making them about 1/16" shorter shorter at the tip.

I have a set of parts. I could send them to you either sell them or lend them to you to make a copy.

I scratch built mine about 14 years ago. the parts weren't available so I made mine from wood.

Back then JimZ made me the decals on his Alps printer.
