Been giving some thought to working on an aim-4D, decided to start doing some openrocket/rocksim simulations..
I don't have any good drawings/dimensions other than it will be full scale, approx 78" long and 6.4" diameter, which will work well for a 6.25" centering ring and 2mm skin. This is good for my foam building technique since the fins are not right at the bottom of the model, and the CG needs to be further forward. I think this will work out well, about like my fullscale hellfire but with less/no nose weight required.
I'm going to model based on these pictures, I believe the nose section on this is a made up unit, but since it has a straight transition it will make it easier for me to do using foam stringers and sheeting....there I go being lazy again. It should wind up near 5.5 pounds rtf.
