Northrop SM-62 Snark: "Got Snark?" Plaque
And here is the finished plaque hanging on the wall. Got Snark?
basic plaque and Snark base painted and mounted.
Base closeup.
Painting base parts yellow from rattle can.
Painting booster rockets white from rattle can.
Painting assembled Snark and wing tanks red from rattle can.
I had a little trouble with the white decal around the nose. Eventually it settled down.
Side view.
Top view.

DutchThanks Nathan, it was a quick build; no sanding of rivets, no putty, and simple rattle can painting. I enjoyed it emensly. I still have to place a small brass placard above the missile, but I can't get it until they lift this "stay at home" order.

John ThomasHey Dutch, nice work. I restored the Snark kit for an Museum some years ago. I did an article about the rebuild for ARC. It is also here in my article tap. Also a fellow Pennsylvanian.

DutchThank you John. Nice work on your rebuild. I plan on a complete Snark diorama using the 1:48 Lindberg kit and extra vehicles to depict an alert launch scene at Presque Isle AFB, Maine circa 1960-61. It is still in the planning and gathering resources stages. Check out my project under my 1/48 Aircraft collections here on SCM. K/r, Dutch

John ThomasHey Dutch, I will check it out. I had the same kind of idea. I found another 1/48 Snark kit with plans to build a diorama as well in the future.

Ben MYou could even build a rusty snark sitting in the jungle as a diorama: airforcemag.com/article/1204snark/

DutchBen, I could also build an underwater Snark with a scuba diver. It would be just as realistic! N'est pas?

DutchNo worries, Brother Ray! You've been busy wrestling the KC-130J to the mat. And a nice job you've made of it.
