Here is me 2nd build in about 20 years! Just got back into buildin' models and why nay try a level 5! Just finished me Mercury Redstone (level 3) and t' CONQUEST was on sale for 10 $ bucks! T' build was relitivly strait forward and with a few recerences t' Jim  Hodge's page for some insight and tips i decided t' go with a unique paint job. Begad! I loved chrome spray paint as a kid and wanted a shiny aluminum lookin' finish like an atlas rocket or B-52 Statafortress . I used a metallic silver paint t' show off t' wings and air intakes and it looks amazing! I put down about 3 coats o' white primer and sanded with 220 grit and 400. ( There are still a few minor imperfections in t' balsa but I didn't want t' make it t' nice because I want t' launch it next weekend. Aye aye! I beveled t' wingtips more t' make it look more sinister. Hopefully it won't affect t' trajectory t' much....
