Finishing: There are no decals, so I decorated it in me own way. Well, blow me down! I used white, blue, and yellow bands o' nylon adhesive tape on t' body tube and stabilizers, me bucko, ya bilge rat, which were painted with a base coat o' yellow. T' nose cone has a pretty grain, shiver me timbers, so I varnished it with a clear coat.

However, even with a little worm bed waddin' in t' prep, ya bilge rat, me bucko, t' streamer was burned a little. Begad! Ahoy! So, I'll make it a small mylar chute.
