No liability issues back in 1976, eh? Like wearing yarn-covered razor blades.



Here it is in action.
Yeesh.

Nah, just a hell raiser. I was five years away from anything else during the bicentennial.

Finished except for clearcoat.



Hazards of home decal brewing.



Hopefully the next pics will be on pad, liftoff, and recovery.

Dang nice. Too bad about the "N." If you're really concerned about it, you could probably fix it by touching it up using some red and white paint with a triple ought brush. But, I assume it's going flying. Something like that could happen on any flight and usually does.

Again, nice job. First time I've seen an actual "built" model of that one.

That hat took me through a time warp. I wanted to start looking for my Ed Roth '57 Chevy T-shirt.

I've got another set of decals that I printed, so I'll probably just clearcoat them and replace that one. (The other set was screwed up because I forgot to center the page when I printed it and some of the design got cut off. DUH!)
