Man,
I just LOVE the smell of aluminum perchlorate in the morning… :)
The missile sure looks nice.
Don’t like to see that rust though.
It’s a quirky little missile. Sometimes it just seems to do what it wants to do.
How about a little paint on that rust.
In this day and age of prudent fiscal management (you know like your elected representatives, large financial institutions, auto companies and such), maybe decals over the rust would be better options? :)
