Brohm identifies the Shuttle1284 SRB part in the BT-46 group. An ST-8/BT-46-family23.064mm outer diameter and22.4mm nominal shoulder are assumed. A short barrel and rounded cone reproduce the SRB forward cap;36.5mm exposed length and all profile breaks are guesses.

Brohm identifies this historical Apollo assembly and tube family. Its exterior is estimated by scaling the separately documented modern Little Joe II033060 capsule/open-truss estimate to a39.37mm base diameter. This preserves recognizable capsule, four tower legs, bracing and escape motor but is not a claim that the molds were identical. Historical shoulder dimensions, rod gauges and fine details are guessed.

Brohm's BT-67 Shuttle1284 entry is the external-tank forward cap. A51.8mm ST-20/BT-67-family seating diameter is assumed. The photograph/instruction role supports a rounded pointed tank dome;73mm exposed length, nominal shoulder and intermediate contour are estimates.

The Estes2005 catalog page18 directly shows the model-kit cap: broad rounded dome with a narrow raised button. BT-70 gives the nominal56.31mm seating diameter.

The primary Estes2007 catalog page27 describes a molded foam body and a separate detailed plastic roof; therefore only the roof/nominal plug is modeled. The catalog gives3.25-inch body width. An87mm square overhanging roof, shallow arched top, five raised corrugations and vent stub are estimated visually. The24.5mm central HBT-1000-family plug and12.7mm insertion are guesses; the toilet cabin and fins are not part of this nose model.

Brohm identifies the ST-20 Mercury capsule and primary Estes1921 kit images show a conical black capsule and a three-legged open escape tower. Use a51.8mm base,75mm capsule and211mm capsule-to-tip height as educated estimates. The three main struts, triangular crossmembers, diagonal bracing, escape motor and three outward dummy nozzle shapes follow that morphology. All feature sizes, nominal shoulder and simplified capsule corrugations are guesses.

Primary Estes1976 instructions and face-card image show a broad conical transition, narrow cylindrical upper payload and very slender Explorer-1 tip. Nominal ST-20 base diameter51.8mm is retained.

Manufacturer explicitly gives 3 in outside diameter and 3 in shoulder length. Exposed length estimated as 10 in from the oblique photograph, approximately 3.3 base diameters; rounded tip and near-tangent base follow the silhouette. Shoulder OD 74.168 mm is borrowed as an estimate from the existing same-diameter Big Daddy 72695 reference. This is a different nose shape from Big Daddy 072695.

Official unqualified length is 4.125 in. Assumed overall 104.775 mm because the product photo shoulder occupies about one fifth of total length. The adopted split is 81.75 mm exposed plus 23.025 mm shoulder. BT-50 nominal OD and ID set diameters. This length convention is an educated interpretation, not manufacturer-confirmed.

Official unqualified length is 3.75 in. Assumed overall 95.25 mm, split into 73.025 mm nose and 22.225 mm shoulder using the straight product photo. Smooth rounded taper follows that photo. Modern injection-molded 072655 is distinct from historical Stealth PNC-50A 072044.

The slender photographed nose is about four to five base diameters long. Interpret the unqualified official 4.125 in as exposed length, using the closely related historic PNC-50YR size as a dimensional anchor. A 19.05 mm shoulder is borrowed from that family. The alternative overall-length interpretation remains possible; this assumption is explicitly an estimate.

The Green Eggs instructions identify 030110 as the combined molded nose H and adapter I that are cut apart. Model only the nose portion after that cut; the rear adapter is not another nose. The photographed exposed part is roughly 3.4 base diameters. Borrow 45.6184 mm outside diameter and 44.45 mm shoulder diameter from the historic BNC-65L reference as nominal fit estimates; adopt 154 mm exposed length and a 25.4 mm shoulder. Official Green Eggs diameter is rounded 1.8 in / 46 mm.

Official diameter 2.5 in controls scale. The straight manufacturer photo gives exposed length about 3.4 diameters and shoulder about one diameter. Adopt 8.5 in exposed and 2.5 in shoulder; borrow the 61.468 mm shoulder diameter from the related PSII 72413 reference as a fit estimate. The narrow longitudinal raised detail visible midway on the front side is represented by a small blended fairing; exact ridge cross-section is uncertain.

The complete current 1:200 assembly includes the broad lower stage transition, S-IVB cylinder, SLA taper, service module, command module and molded escape-tower spire. Manufacturer Saturn V RTF diameter 1.98 in / 50 mm scales the widest base. Relative axial stations and 32.2 mm by 20 mm shoulder are estimated from the straight replacement photograph. Color bands are not grooves. This product depicts a solid simplified tower, unlike the larger Little Joe II open lattice.

Estes 2016 catalog gives kit 7227 diameter 3.42 in (86.868 mm). The primary Estes instruction sheet page 7 straight side view scales the capsule-to-tip distance to about 263 mm and page 6 explicitly shows a four-legged open truss, bracing, flared motor base and separate motor tube. These features are reconstructed as connected solid rods and cones, with the empty tower center retained. Capsule stations, nominal 84.5 mm shoulder, 25.4 mm shoulder length, rod thicknesses and all detail coordinates are estimates. This model includes only the nose capsule/tower assembly, not the body wraps, fins, or other sprue components.

Unidentified constituent of the current five-piece sci-fi photograph; no verified historical mold identity. Top illustrated part has a broad angular cockpit and a co-molded rear nozzle. Estimate BT-55 shoulder and a 96 mm cockpit body. Represent its angular raised deck as a broad wedge with a shallow rectangular panel. The separate rear nozzle visible in the molding is excluded from nose geometry. The axisymmetric underside is an approximation; this does not assert an exact rectangular mold section.
