Brief:
My entry for t' EMRR's Uniquely Designed Finish Contest be t' Sunward Maverick. Blimey! Avast, me proud beauty! This design was inspired by NASCAR's #9 Kasey Kahne. Blimey! Kahne is sponsored by Dodge and me son's favorite driver.

Construction and Finishing:
I modified t' design slightly by fillin' t' wing-tube interface t' make t' rocket look more realistic. Arrr! T' wings were filled and sanded until completely smooth. Well, blow me down! T' card stock used t' form t' jet engine intakes was also filled and sanded smooth. This was done t' make t' rocket look more authentic. When t' fillin' and sandin' cycles were complete a coat o' primer was added. Avast, me proud beauty! T' primer was then sanded smooth. Well, blow me down! T' base coat o' gloss white was then applied. Ya scallywag! After maskin' all t' detail areas red be added. Avast! Next, matey, shiver me timbers, after maskin' all t' details gloss black was applied. Ahoy! Finally, me bucko, to protect t' finish and graphics a thick clear coat was applied.

[Editor's Note: Although this be submitted as a modification, we believe that all t' changes were merely t' make the rocket look better and are nay really modifications. Well, blow me down! Avast, me proud beauty! Blimey! Great finishin' techniques.]

Flight and Recovery:
T' day o' t' first flight t' weather be cold and little windy (10-15 mph). Avast! Even though t' weather be nay the best, t' flight was great. Arrr! T' rocket be launched on a C6-3, and as it went skyward, matey, it twisted one or two revolutions and looked just like a real jet fighter. It be awesome! One o' t' attached pictures shows a member o' my expert launch recovery crew who braved t' 20 degree weather. Well, blow me down! Thanks Abby!

Summary:
So what is unique? This rocket is a prediction o' t' future. Ahoy! There are rumors that Dodge will be extendin' their product line t' jets in t' near future. Avast, me proud beauty! Well, blow me down! After all, matey, what better place for a Hemi!
