BT-70, not BT-80.
With BT-60 internal for the nose cone/capsule.
I cloned a few dozen of these in the 1980s for our NAR Section's building classes. Used Lexan for the fins and fin collar and had to get a specialty liquid adhesive.
I used the last remaining cloned model during my 16-Jul-2019 display here at the home of the S-II second stage. Office buildings still here and refurbished. One assembly building was demolished a few years ago, but the other is still standing.
