If I was to do that, I would consider building it like the old Estes K-27 kit.
Find a 3:1 ogive cone for a 4" tube. Resembling the Alpha cone, it is a popular shape. Glue a 3" coupler to the base of the cone.
Make a cardstock shroud reinforced by fiberglassing to form the aft part if the warhead "cone."
You may have to grind or sand the base of the cone some to get it to fit into the shroud.
