Hi,
First of all this is my first time posting anything in the forum. I wish I found out about this sooner as it is such a wonderful gathering place for aviation enthusiasts and information.
I recently acquired this huge Snark model it's 76"in x 44"in wingspan made out of wood and fiberglass. It was originally painted grey and than someone repainted it with a spray can silver. However they did mask around the markings. I plan on making a base for it and restoring it to possibly the red with white test scheme.
I am currently looking for photos of larger Snark models to see what type of base they might have had to give me ideas. I am also looking to see if there was a painting guide to what the different schemes were for the snark. I found a lot of pictures of the smaller snark models but not larger ones. I was told by the previous owner it sat on a pole at Hill AFB, but thats all I know about this one.
Hope I can get some help and that this constitutes an appropriate topic for the forum!!
Thanks CAIR
