I had total knee replacement April 2008 so I guess it was my turn that time 
That's when I bought the parts from Madcow Rocketry and we compared notes on the Nike-Ram 2 original that I have compared to your "H" version. My buddy still has my original and up until a few years ago was flying it regularly at club launches.

I didn't have an Estes PNC-80K on hand so I bought both a red and black cone from Madcow. These are very nice cones and quite sturdy. These were molded in color. Strange but looks like Madcow has consolidated some of his cone offerings as I no longer see the red cone on the site. The part numbers I purchased were PNC80K-B and PNC80K-R. I'm pretty sure this one here is the same as my black cone but the part number changed:

AAA shows two paint schemes in the instructions and of course one could always finish it in one of the various EnerJet Nike-Ram schemes. I still haven't fully decided on the cone color but I have the main body white with Valspar red over white on the fins.
