New Ranger Nose Cone

Carl McLawhorn posted about the balsa nose cone included in the Semroc Ranger kit.
The original nose cone was taller and more narrow at the top.
The Semroc Ranger kit includes the (correct) BNC-60LV nose cone shown at the right.

My Ranger has the plastic nose cone included in the current Big Bertha and Baby Bertha kits from Estes.

You can see the difference when they are held side by side!
My Ranger clone will soon have the (historically correct) nose cone.
Rocket nerds care about the finer points of the hobby!
