TIP: The old Centuri Little Joe II (smaller version) provided trailing edge balsa for the tapered fins.
Two of these joined back to back might be a place to start!
I can't remember which vendor it was -
There was a another kit with Nike Ajax fins. Two wedge shaped pieces of balsa were joined in the middle.
