I knew I could do it!
.......and voila!
It took several tries, but I was finally successful in replicating a 1:13 scale BBIII nozzle.
Using the indicated 55 to 50 pattern from an Estes centering ring and paper adapter packet (I knew I would eventually use that #3179 kit someday,) I cut out, curled, and joined the ends of the strip. I then took a thick CR 55 to 50 and removed several windings of paper from the inside. I then inserted, leveled, and glued the formed adapter into the ID of the ring. After the glue was dry I saturated the faux nozzle with thin CA.
It's now dry and hard as a rock.
THAT was the last component I needed to scratch build a 1:13 scale BBIII and that build thread is coming soon.
