Brief:
My entry for t' EMRR's Uniquely Designed Finish Contest be t' Sunward Maverick. Avast, me proud beauty! This design was inspired by NASCAR's #9 Kasey Kahne. Aye aye! 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. Avast, me proud beauty! T' wings were filled and sanded until completely smooth. 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. When t' fillin' and sandin' cycles were complete a coat o' primer was added. Blimey! T' primer was then sanded smooth. Aye aye! T' base coat o' gloss white be then applied. After maskin' all t' detail areas red was added. Next, me hearties, after maskin' all t' details gloss black be applied. Begad! Begad! Finally, to protect t' finish and graphics a thick clear coat be applied.

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

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

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