Estes Green Eggs, #7301 Build, Part 9, Color Choices & Payload Mask

Here's the original 3 engine cluster Scrambler from the 1974 Estes catalog. It was designated kit #K-37.
Overall white body, one white fin, one orange, one black.
The nose cone is also orange.

Notice the black areas in the payload section. I would assume these were black sponge disks to cushion the payload. Foam disks were included in the Shrike kit.
The nose cone shoulder and adapter shoulder areas are also black. I'll mask and paint the clear green payload section black like the picture shows.

The Green Eggs kit will capture the feel of the old Scrambler even with the clear green payload tube.

The coupler/adapter has a raised ring in the center. The adapter is molded yellow with the nose cone.
Interesting with a good coat of white paint it still shows some yellow. The yellow nose cones in my Odd'l Rockets F-104 and F-15 kits have yellow plastic nose cones. If you don't prime and cover the yellow, some of it could show through after the paint dries.
This isn't a problem with the nose cone, the yellow plastic is a good color under the final orange paint.

The payload tube mask is on the left.
Clear Scotch tape masks the initial line, masking tape and paper wrap covers the middle.

On the right is the mask after the tape is pulled.
If you've never tried a Scotch tape mask before, the smooth clear payload tube will give some very sharp color separation lines.
