They may have dropped diameter because they can make any shape now, I do understand if that’s the case.

It certainly seems intentional, since not a single diameter is listed, as far as I could tell. A good compromise might be to include diameters for models that use conventional body tubes. Some models are hard to guess the diameter, because of the scaling used for the rocket image, and the orientation. There are a few that have the rocket pointed toward the viewer a lot, like the Athena on page 17. Tough to compare height to diameter.
