Found The Estes Star Rider/Nemesis Nosecone (PN 071005)

K'Tesh · Dec 29, 2019

I've been sent this image, and while it looks like a PNC-50S, I've never seen one that shows a canopy in any of the images I've seen of the SST or the Sandpiper. Does anyone recognize it?

The image is not displaying, at least on my browser.

Nose cone with two Jayhawk style canards? If so its the PNC-50S. You image is not displaying. Check out the thread linked below .

Thanks for the link RH... My lack of sleep work addled mind completely forgot about that thread.

Can you see the image now?

kuririn · Dec 29, 2019

The closed eye loop hints at a polyurethane casting. Maybe Moldin Oldies? Or homegrown?

kuririn · Dec 29, 2019

Maybe this one?

kuririn · Dec 29, 2019

It was used in the 2010 Star Rider and 2175 Nemesis. Not to be confused with the PNC-50CA which used the same part #.

PS FWIW the 2175 Nemesis:

The excessive flashing and closed loop seems to indicate that his is not an original blow molded part.
More likely a cast reproduction. Moldin' Oldies does not have this in their current line-up, but perhaps they did at one time?

And we have our answer. A PN 071005. Don't think I've ever seen that before. Thanks for the link!

Thanks Kuririn

I can’t say it is or is not casted. It came with these is same lot. They appear original.

kuririn · Dec 29, 2019

Yup, now that I get a better look at the loop I see the flashing. You are correct.

sl98 · Dec 29, 2019

Correct as in casted or correct as in original?

kuririn · Dec 29, 2019

Original. A cast poly cone would have a solid loop, no flashing.

This also appeared in the Mega Maxx 1474 Starter Set on the Spitfire SSI.
