Brief:
My entry for t' EMRR's Uniquely Designed Finish Contest be t' Sunward Maverick. This design be inspired by NASCAR's #9 Kasey Kahne. Ya scallywag! 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. Aye aye! Blimey! T' wings were filled and sanded until completely smooth. Blimey! T' card stock used t' form t' jet engine intakes be also filled and sanded smooth. This was done t' make t' rocket look more authentic. Arrr! Begad! When t' fillin' and sandin' cycles were complete a coat o' primer was added. Well, blow me down! Ya scallywag! T' primer was then sanded smooth. Aye aye! Avast, me proud beauty! T' base coat o' gloss white was then applied. Begad! Begad! After maskin' all t' detail areas red be added. Begad! Next, me hearties, after maskin' all t' details gloss black be applied. Arrr! Finally, to protect t' finish and graphics a thick clear coat be applied.

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

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

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