Here's the big one, the The Launch Pad PERSHING MGM-31A.
It's about the same size as the old Estes Maxi-Brute Pershing at 39.75" tall.
The Estes kit was 41" tall, BT-101 at 3.938" diameter.
Lots of parts, balsa strips and nine centering rings.
Below the nose cone are the two nose cone washer weights.
There is no engine block, the model uses Aerotech engines with the rear centering ring.
The body tubes from left to right:
12" BT-60
6" BT-80
12" BT-80
21.25" BT-100
The first picture shows the 2.75" long BT-50 engine mount tube.
The Estes kit used a blow molded nose cone.
This long nose cone is formed with card stock shrouds.
There are three shroud pieces topped by a conical balsa nose cone.
The shrouds were rolled up in the large tube.
There are plenty of card stock templates.
The upper square fins are card stock over built up balsa stringers.
On the lower right is the tri-fold shock cord mount.
This is a Mylar parachute, a six sided oblong shape.
Dimensions are 18" wide by 30" long.
