Thanks to Gerry Fortin's website, I've finally been able to confirm that the Estes OMEGA K-52P was released in 1970 with a balsa nosecone. Sometime later, possibly 1971, it was switched to a one piece plastic PNC-60AH. There is still also the chance that it was released (possibly with a yellow hang tag) with the two-piece version of the PNC-60AH that matches the Citation Der Red Max.
I'm now very interested in modeling the 1970 version of the K-52P, and as I don't have an original Estes BNC-60AH, I'm thinking that I need to score a Semroc BNC-60AH. According to the 1970 Catalog the Estes cone was 6 5/8" (6.625") whereas the Semroc is given as 6.6". I'm curious though about how different they truly are.
Does anyone have one of each to compare them?
