Howdy guys and gals,
Well I have been at it again, this time I built Lindbergs 1:48th scale SM-62 "Snark" missile. This was The United States First Intercontinental Missile and this kit builds into a great looking model that is about 18 inches long when completed. It also comes with a mobile launch platform, about 9 Airforce Crewmen a "fifth wheel" and a tow tractor.
The history of this missile is fun reading, the stories of "Snark infested waters" off the coast of Florida during trials as well as the story of one of the Missiles failing to self destruct during a test and being found years later in the jungles of South America.
Anyway, here she sits on my driveway:
Now for those of you who happen to like the looks of this model and would like to have a similar model to add to your collection, here is the link to a good friend of mines free downloadable cardmodel of the SM-62 Snark:
The Navy
Once there you will see two photos of the completed cardmodel. Now for those of you who like other Missiles of this era, try this other page:
The webmaster of this page has permission of the designer to post this model in his website The model you will find here are of the Thor ICBM Both USAF and RAF as well as the iraqi SCUD and others.
One more quick link, DPileggi will take to you models of the above plus a 1/5th scale flying model rocket of the Sidewinder missile.
Have a good day and thanks for looking,
Greg
