Default What body tube size for Estes Supershot?

Does anybody know what size body tube the Supershot model out of the Estes 1449 Supershot Starter Set uses? Or can just tell me based on this description? It's a bit bigger than a BT-50, but not anywhere near the size of a BT-55? I need to find a nosecone for it.

Also, does anybody know what the engine tube in the Supershot was made of? Was it just a standard cardboard tube, or was it made of plastic? I know it has plastic parts that are glued onto and around it, but I can't tell for sure what the tube itself was made of. From the instructions the engine tube was precut with some custom notches in each end.

Somebody gave me their old Estes 1449 Supershot Starter Set. They had started building the rockets but never finished them. The Twister parts are all there but the Supershot is missing the nosecone and engine tube.

As I said, the body tube seems to be an odd non-standard size so I can't find a standard nosecone to fit it. And I'm hoping I can just use a standard cardboard engine tube and cut the notches myself.

Thank you!
