The paint scheme doesn't match any of the three versions seen on the instructions found on JimZ's website.]

Try rotating your nose cone 90 degrees.

[My fins are 3/32" thick.

Here's the numbers that I have from my kit, and how they stack up...

5.75" Exposed Nosecone
4.00" Body Tube
4.50" Exposed Tail Cone
.875" Fins (below tail cone)
14.125" Total length (as is)

14.20" Length from 1971 Centuri Catalog.

I know that my numbers don't match up with Gord's, but it wouldn't be unheard of for a rocket manufacturer to change body tube lengths or nosecones at some time during production (e.g.: Estes Cherokee D).]

I hate to say it but your measurements add up to 15.125. Did you maybe "cut an inch" on the ruler and your tailcone is 3.5"?

It looks to be shorter than the tube.
