Flight Log - 2011-09-17 - Ray "AcroRay" Miller's Long March Three

Nice, inexpensive 1/95th-scale scale kit o' one o' China's workhorse commercial and scientific payload lifters.  Anyone can build an attractive model with t' basic kit, me hearties, but thar be a lot o' surface detail like conduits and other textures that I added for a more impressive display.  Also, t' nose-cone is a somewhat translucent white, ya bilge rat, blow molded material like that used in shampoo bottles that was  somewhat curved and was resistant some paint and glue applications.
