Default Here it is: The V-2
This was a bi*** to paint. Long story short I used really old painters tape because I didnt have any more and the paint leaked through the tape. But I got my mom who has LOTS of experience painting to touch it up and I think she looks pretty nice.
Oh and theres a piuc of the Leviathan for those who didnt see it.

Better watch those run on sentences, otherwise some of the guys here will be asking for pics of your mom

Yer actually pretty safe with a picture of your mom with a rocket. About 90% of the guys on this forum will drool over the rocket---and never notice your mom.

Nice rocket though. If you ever find one (if Semroc re-releases it), see what you can do with a VF-261 It is, at it's heart, a souped up V2.

Ummm....but we won't be offended if you post a pic of mom, just to let you know. I mean, SOME variety outside of pure rockets probably, come to think of it, might not hurt.
