Thanks Man and Dave. I'm leaning to make my scale Malemute the Improved variety, though I've built payload/nosecone for both the first flight version described by Peter Alway, and a more generic NASA sounding rocket. The Terrier booster uses different size fins for those options, but I'm not building 2 Terriers :-).
Thanks for the dimensional data on the Patriot - it helps. And it also answered my lingering question - is that stripe/conduit on both sides? Yep.

Wonderful! The documentation on the single-stage Malemute sounding rocket test vehicle is also welcome (with its Centuri Starfire-like boat-tail, it would probably make a good scale *and* parachute duration model). There was also, before they ran out of usable surplus Nike motors, a Nike-Malemute, although the Terrier-Malemute lacks nothing in the sleek aesthetics department, and:
When I was the volunteer range historian for PFRR (the Poker Flat Research Range ["Flat" is singular]: https://www.pfrr.alaska.edu/content/welcome-poker-flat ), I had a Malemute upper stage fin and a Nike fin, both from the range's "boneyard." (I have no idea if both came from the same--or *any*--Nike-Malemute round [the Nike fin could have been from any Nike-boosted vehicle], as the artifacts there cover many years of sounding rocket campaigns.)

If I haven’t posted them on YORF, here’s my Terrier Improved Malemute.
Booster closeup I’m looking for the equivalent Talos data for this spec label. I have a pic of a Talos with this printing- but it isn’t clear enough to read. Improved Malemute / Patriot For fun, I made a detail based on a Tomahawk despin unit
