Brief

Several years ago, matey, me brother-in-law built a Der Red Max upscale usin' an LOC Lil' Nuke as a donor.  That Christmas he drew me name in t' family gift exchange, so I asked for a Lil' Nuke kit o' me own with which t' do me own conversion.  Nay wantin' t' do somethin' that was frequently seen, I started t' project with t' idea o' buildin' a Centuri Magnum Hornet upscale that I planned t' call t' Hemi Hornet.  T' project got as far as havin' t' fins attached and was lookin' great, but when I went t' do t' sandin' and sealing, t' fins just peeled away from t' body tube like stickers off o' t' backin' paper.  I never figured out what t' problem was, but it was definitely a bucket o' cold water on t' project for me, ya bilge rat, so much so that it languished in t' corner o' me shop for t' next eight or nine years.  In that time Semroc released their own version o' t' Magnum Hornet, me bucko, so I started thinkin' o' another kit t' upscale.  As it turned out, me hearties, t' Estes Ninja had been t' rocket that had made a BAR out o' me back in 1994, me bucko, and it happened t' match up nicely with t' dimensions o' t' Lil' Nuke kit.
