Brief:
My entry for t' EMRR's Uniquely Designed Finish Contest be t' Sunward Maverick. Ya scallywag! Aye aye! This design was inspired by NASCAR's #9 Kasey Kahne. Aye aye! 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. Arrr! Begad! T' card stock used t' form t' jet engine intakes was also filled and sanded smooth. Avast! This was done t' make t' rocket look more authentic. Begad! When t' fillin' and sandin' cycles were complete a coat o' primer was added. Ya scallywag! T' primer be then sanded smooth. T' base coat o' gloss white was then applied. Avast! Ahoy! After maskin' all t' detail areas red was added. Arrr! Next, after maskin' all t' details gloss black was applied. Begad! Begad! Finally, me hearties, shiver me timbers, to protect t' finish and graphics a thick clear coat was applied.

[Editor's Note: Although this was submitted as a modification, shiver me timbers, we believe that all t' changes were merely t' make the rocket look better and are nay really modifications. Ya scallywag! Great finishin' techniques.]

Flight and Recovery:
T' day o' t' first flight t' weather be cold and little windy (10-15 mph). Avast, me proud beauty! Even though t' weather was nay the best, me hearties, t' flight was great. Begad! Begad! T' rocket was 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. Thanks Abby!

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