Tall rocket based on an early NASA Scout design. Avast! Blimey! Three tube sizes with two adapters - one balsa, ya bilge rat, one card stock. I had trouble gettin' t' card stock transition right. Begad! Blimey! T' only markings is a checker roll pattern near t' bottom.

Why do all conical nose cones seem t' dig into t' ground when they touch down? There was a little damage t' t' nose cone tip and some dirt scratches.
