Unfortunately, there just are not any options right now for a Nike Smoke kit in the 3"- 4" range. Madcow had both 2.6" and 4" fiberglass versions, but it appears they have dropped the Nike Smoke entirely (as well as the Black Brant II). I think the OP managed to get the Estes PSII version.
I tried contacting a them month ago or so regarding the purchase of one of these, got no response.

Looks like a good kit at a good price. I think it will be on my Christmas list.
Nike Smoke will be available again by this weekend.I did see that, but we're into August now and Cosmo's kits still seem to be unavailable, at least there's no way to order from the web site. I completely understand the reason for this, but unavailable is still unavailable.
Also Cosmo's Smoke is only a 2.6. $75 or more is a bit steep.
Just emailed mad cow and they said they'd have the 2.6" version available late Oct or November..Unfortunately, there just are not any options right now for a Nike Smoke kit in the 3"- 4" range.

I just searched and nothing shows for apogee and nike smoke. Do you have to call them??Apogee has a limited number of Cosmodrome 2.6 inch Nike Smokes in stock.
I just checked the Apogee site and they're apparently sold out, again.I just searched and nothing shows for apogee and nike smoke. Do you have to call them??
Looks like they sold out again.Tim said Apogee only had a few Cosmodrome kits and would probably not likely be able to get more. He was going remove the page when they sold out so people wouldnt find the item and deluge Apogee with questions about stock. He also had a few Cosmodrome Aerobee-Hi kits. I ordered both and the order went through ok, but i got an email the next day that someone else had beat me to their last Aerobee-Hi. I think I got their last Nike Smoke.
The Cosmodrome Nike Smoke has a turned balsa nosecone and I think the owner turns them himself. That’s a huge piece of balsa and turning it must be a daunting task.
...same here, a few months ago. He has some nice rockets, just wish he was back in business.I tried contacting a them month ago or so regarding the purchase of one of these, got no response.
I would think turning balsa would be a tough material to work with.. unless you use a 4th axis and a cnc machine to mill it instead of turning it..Tim said Apogee only had a few Cosmodrome kits and would probably not likely be able to get more.

I'm still here, just really busy with non-rocket stuff. Let me know what your looking for, I'm working on getting more kits ready, just taking more time than I thought....same here, a few months ago. He has some nice rockets, just wish he was back in business.
Will be sending more soon.Looks like they sold out again.

Yes I do. It was a lot of work until I turned my lathe into a CNC lathe.The Cosmodrome Nike Smoke has a turned balsa nosecone and I think the owner turns them himself. That’s a huge piece of balsa and turning it must be a daunting task.
