Gemini Nose Cone

I recall someone was producing a nose cone like a Gemini capsule, can anyone remind me who that was?

Thanks for your time.
Steve.

Semroc sells them (hurry!) and Balsa Machining lists them https://www.balsamachining.com/#

In addition to the several available from semroc there is also a repro being made by moldin oldies sold at Sirius. Here is a link.

Thanks for the extra links guys. I like the Moldin' Oldies version, just trying to figure out if fits a 50 or 70 body tube.

The moldin oldies 1978 capsule is a copy of the BT60 sized one from the Estes #1978 Gemini Titan kit.

And if you want to go big, Revell just reissued the 1/24 scale capsule for $20.
