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

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

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

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