Flight Log - 2020-05-08 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Estes Der Red Max Clone

First clone I build after getting back into the hobby.

This was a re-build, this time I filled the seams on the body tube and launch lugs. It is now painted red, not orange. New decals from the Estes reissued kit. I used Americana clear acrylic with good results - very shiny. No skull and crossbones parachute in this kit.
