Vashon Valkyrie II Build, Part 8, Balsa Nose Cone

I could use one of the Styrofoam nose cones, but my original Valkyrie had a balsa cone. Vashon changed to Styrofoam nose cones later in kit runs.

My balsa cone from the Break-Away kits is very close to the styrofoam cone profile. It's a little taller.

To start, sand the tip down flat. Mark the center with a pencil.

Use that center dot as a reference while the sides are sanded down.

Look from the side to get the contour profile smooth.










Side by side both cones are close enough for me!
