Brief:
My entry for t' EMRR's Uniquely Designed Finish Contest be t' Sunward Maverick. Arrr! Blimey! This design be inspired by NASCAR's #9 Kasey Kahne. Ahoy! 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. T' wings were filled and sanded until completely smooth. Blimey! Blimey! 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. Ahoy! Blimey! When t' fillin' and sandin' cycles were complete a coat o' primer was added. T' primer be then sanded smooth. T' base coat o' gloss white was then applied. Well, blow me down! Blimey! After maskin' all t' detail areas red be added. Arrr! Blimey! Next, matey, after maskin' all t' details gloss black was applied. Finally, arrr, to protect t' finish and graphics a thick clear coat was 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. Avast! Great finishin' techniques.]

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

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