That one was one of James' creations.
The BC-1315 is the correct one for the upcoming Orion. The original that Bob Craddock loaned me used the balsa cone and paper shroud. The instructions call for six BC-711 (BC-71) balsa nose cones and an errata sheet says they were replaced with plastic cones. They are a translucent white plastic not like any other cones I saw from Centuri. I was going to scan the older instructions, but my scanner went out before I was able to to it.
The vacuform wraps are the same one-off from the Centuri Saturn V and 1B. We will probably use paper wraps and balsa fiddly-bits on ours.
