It wasn't for the kit. There was a two part balsa nose cone that scratchers could use to simulate a MC capsule. The shroud allowed it to fit a variety of body tubes from BT-20 to BT-60.But did the Estes Mercury Redstone kit use a paper shroud?
See jimz link above, k-41 with the sp-41 printed shroud set.Mercury Capsule sounds like the best fit for "MC" so far!

Ahh, PSM-1Actually, the capsule shroud was smaller than the shroud in question. The larger shroud was for adapting the capsule to various body tubes. Plus the capsule shroud was pre-printed with the capsule color and markings.
The printed shroud was in the earlier MR kits, the shroud in question was not. It's for the Mercury capsule kit, not the Mercury Redstone kit. Whew!
