After being inspired by this thread: https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/can-we-save-this-estes-pershing-1a.150649/
and finding scale data here: https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/scratch-built-5-25-pershing-1a-built-with-foam.120203/
I decided this was a perfect time to use my old BT-101 body tube that has been lying around from the mid eighties.
First thing was to create 3D files of the nose cone:
I then printed all 3 parts. Total print was 12h45min. They turned out fantastic.
Before I glue the nose cone together I will need to find out how much nose weight will be required.
Parts stacked together:
Next step is to create the vanes, vane pads, cable covers and charge retainer as 3D files.
