Flight Log - 2011-09-17 - Ray "AcroRay" Miller's Long March Three
Nice, inexpensive 1/95th-scale scale kit of one of China's workhorse commercial and scientific payload lifters. Anyone can build an attractive model with the basic kit, but there is a lot of surface detail like conduits and other textures that I added for a more impressive display. Also, the nose-cone is a somewhat translucent white, blow molded material like that used in shampoo bottles that was somewhat curved and was resistant some paint and glue applications.
