Default Star Blazer TK-31 Plans?

I am hoping someone here will have the plans for the little Star Blazer, TK-31, NOT K-31.
This one is the Mini-Brute edition that has the paper cockpit and 3 squarish fins.

I am 'restoring' one that was in a box of beat up, old rockets. I am able to reuse the fins and NC and balsa bulkhead, just not the BT's, as they were both twisted.

Here is how it looks in the 1974 catalog, compliments of Ninfinger:

Thanks in advance!

Allen

Many Thanks, Mole!

Exactly what I needed! I just did not look for it in the right place, I guess!

What I can't find on JimZ's, I go to YORF plans. OldRockets in Yahoo Groups has a few plans too!

Here is mine I cloned 5 years ago. Flew it once then retired it. I enlarged the parts to fit a BT-55 and Bullpup N/C, but never built it. It kinda,sorta has that F-104 Starfighter look about it.

This is my downscale cardstock Star Blazer.

It uses a Quark nose cone.

It can be found on

Thanks!

I'll look through the files tonight and see if I can find the fin templates. Main BT is LOC BT-2.14 and a LOC nose cone. It has a 38mm mount.
