Red River - HV308 Gallery

[Dean B]

I just finished the Red River Rocketry HV308 Red Spike. It's too bad that Red River isn't producing kits anymore, because this was a really fun one for me. My only complaint is that it came with self-stick decals and not water-slides.

I decided to leave off the motor clip since I prefer to friction-fit motors in minimum-diameter models. The tube / ring fin was a loose fit, so I laminated the inside surface with white card stock. This also gave it a nice white finish to match the exterior color. I finished the model with my usual arsenal of Rustoleum enamels and Future clear.

These days I'm really interested in this type of space-plane design. A Madcow Solar Express found its way under the Christmas tree (It's inexplicable!), so it should be in the works soon.

That's beautiful!

Great looking rocket Dean. That's the first I've heard of a Red River kit with stickers instead of water slide decals. I'll be sure to mention this thread to John when I see him. Hopefully, his "hiatus" won't be permanent.
