I want to scratch build/clone one of my all-time faves: the Estes Recruiter #2013. I have a rear nozzle. I can get the BT55 to BT60 transistion. I can get the wateslides form Gordy. I can't seem to find a nose cone. I know it's the same as the Beta Launch Vehicle cone, but what is the shape called?

Thanks.

SEMROC has the Recruiter kit.

$18.50 seems pretty cheap too.

He's talking about this kit Gordy.

The nose cones looks similar though.

Tony's correct, but I think the cones may be the same. I just have to figure out which cone is on the Semroc Recruiter.

I have one... If you want it, its yours for the shipping cost. Originally there WAS a 5560 plastic transition that was part of the blow mold... But I don't have that piece.

Aren't the kits the same?

They look the same.

I think they're almost the same, but the Semroc Recruiter doesn't have a rear faux nozzle.

The Semroc's a tad smaller 19.2 inches long opposed to the Estes' 25 inches, and 1.34in. diameter instead of 1.637in.
