What does this look like?

Photos now attached. This thing will be a beauty when finished, and you can almost guarantee you'll have the only one at the launch. Mach 1's original designer Ronald Dunn is famous for his split-fin designs which look lightning fast even when sitting on the pad. (He said while driving to sneak this back onto the build pile without the wife seeing it!)

Assuming it's a 54mm (or larger) motor mount, I'll take it. If it's 38mm or smaller, I'll pass.

As you can see in the photos, there is no motor mount. I'm assuming it is intended for 38mm or minimum diameter 54 mm, but I'm not certain. The original owners of Mach 1 are friends and in my NAR section. It's possible that it's a prototype. I often helped them out by building some designs for them, this may have been one of those.

Looks like your missing 2 tubes.
(1) the coupling. [I see the switch band, and 2 body tubes. ]
(1) motor mount. Would fit ID of centering rings and be about 12" long.

Are they inside other tubes, or nosecone by chance?
