This upscale of an Estes Orbital Interceptor is built with LOC 2.6" tubing and an Aerotech nose cone. Fins are 3/16" ply, with the exception of the tail plane (which is 1/8" ply). The tail plane is gussetted with triangular balsa stock and tabbed onto the rudder. Motor mount is 29mm, and can accept a 6-grain case. This model can handle full-H motors reasonably, but a small I would be the limit. Vinyl decals from Stickershock23.
