I have a set of skins for the regular Interceptor. They are nice. I’ll likely get a set of the “E” skins, too. But, I would not do just the nose cone with skins. It just would be extremely difficult to match painted Interceptor body to the vinyl. I’d find a Trajector kit, which uses a silver version of the same cone, to use on the Interceptor-E. You could then put a standard PS II nose cone on the Trajector.
You can paint a prefinished PS II kit like the Trajector pretty easily. I ditched the pink colored Prowler by sanding and priming the body tube, fins, and nose cone. I then painted it. The dark gray paint looks nice, with no hint this rocket has a preprinted wrap. Jury is out on the blue cone. I was trying out an old can of Testors and it’s not exactly the color I expected.
