Three tapered pieces were made from old MPC Mini Jet nose cones from their old part accessories kit.
The shoulder was tight in the BT-5 tube and was sanded to fit.
A reference circle was drawn in pencil and the taper sanded in with a block.
The nozzle was cut from a Bic pen "Stick" pen.
Here's the rear nozzle!
I could have purchased the resin cast pieces from Sirius Rocketry, but I vowed to make this a spare parts build.
My clones are usually close, but not an exact replica.
Hope you can find a good use for the rest of those nose cones!
ReplyDeleteHi Neil,
DeleteThere wasn't anything I could do with what was left. I threw the "points" away.
I decided I wanted to go ahead and do this build when you first posted. Ordered my parts last week and they came today so I'me pretty excited. I did spring for the Rocketerium nose cone and resin nozzles tho.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'd better get to work! ;)
