Nike Tomahawk - Another "One Day" Build

I was looking through an old AVI catalog on Ninfinger's: HERE
and ran across the old Nike Tomahawk kit.

The specs say it's a 35mm below and a 20mm body tube above.

It looks to be a composite of the old MPC Nike Smoke (35mm) and Tomahawk (20mm) kits.
Both plastic fin units are available from Quest. That Nike Smoke fin can is nearly indestructible.
I would assume the only 20mm Quest plastic nose cone is the same one from the kit.

The transition looks to be the only stumbling block. Something could be built up from card stock shrouds.
Semi-scale? It'll look cool anyway.

Looks like I'll be ordering some parts from Quest and using the 40% off coupon from the NAR Member Guidebook.
