To many people the Snark missile represents a forgotten era. Coming on the heels of US missile defense systems like the Corporal along with heavy bombers it was America\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nuclear deterrent in a war that was growing ever colder. For 1959 it incorporated marvelous technology. It had a range of nearly 5,000 miles and could be returned to base on landing skids for reuse. From the records it appears that at least some were deployed from bases on the east coast and returned in that manner using an internal guidance system that used the stars \u00e2\u20ac\u201c much like the ancient mariners.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

For the modeler \u00e2\u20ac\u201c this is a review of one of Revell\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s SSP series that returns to today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s modeler a kit that had long since been out of production. I have to give kudos to Revell for doing that because there are a lot of great modeling subjects that deserve another run to make them available to today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s hobbyist. That said, this kit has some areas where the casual and contest modeler will need to pay attention to make it display ready. The order of construction and some molding errors are highlighted to make this an easier build. The decals are outstanding but they also present a challenge. Overall this kit can be finished and detailed to great extent even though there are only 31 pieces but it takes some patience to install the decals so I would rate the kit a skill level 2+. This kit also includes two figures and good instructions<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n
