Flight Log - 2013-12-22 - Hans "Chris" Michielssen's Estes Der Red Max Clone

First clone I build after gettin' back into t' hobby.

This was a re-build, this time I filled t' seams on t' body tube and launch lugs. It is now painted red, nay orange. Begad! Blimey! New decals from t' Estes reissued kit. I used Americana clear acrylic with good results - very shiny. Arrr! Blimey! No skull and crossbones parachute in this kit.
