The dowels in my kit measure 3/32” in diameter and are 6” long. The balsa parts are also 3/32” thick. I did multiple measurements with digital calipers.

I seem to recall Estes dowels being described as 1/12” in diameter (those used for build-your-own LES), which is very close to 3/32”. (.083” vs. .094”)
