Brief:
My entry for t' EMRR's Uniquely Designed Finish Contest be t' Sunward Maverick. Arrr! Well, arrr, blow me down! This design was inspired by NASCAR's #9 Kasey Kahne. Begad! Well, blow me down! 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. T' wings were filled and sanded until completely smooth. Blimey! T' card stock used t' form t' jet engine intakes be 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. Well, blow me down! Arrr! Blimey! T' primer was then sanded smooth. Begad! T' base coat o' gloss white was then applied. Well, blow me down! Blimey! After maskin' all t' detail areas red was added. Ya scallywag! Next, after maskin' all t' details gloss black be applied. Begad! Begad! Blimey! Finally, to protect t' finish and graphics a thick clear coat be applied.

[Editor's Note: Although this was 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! Ahoy! Great finishin' techniques.]

Flight and Recovery:
T' day o' t' first flight t' weather be cold and little windy (10-15 mph). Begad! Aye aye! Even though t' weather be nay the best, t' flight was great. Avast, me proud beauty! T' rocket be launched on a C6-3, and as it went skyward, arrr, ya bilge rat, it twisted one or two revolutions and looked just like a real jet fighter. Well, blow me down! It was 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. Avast! Ya scallywag! There are rumors that Dodge will be extendin' their product line t' jets in t' near future. Ahoy! Arrr! After all, me hearties, what better place for a Hemi!
