NASA has flown quite an odd collection of ac over the years. Their must be a WB-57 conversion kit out somewhere.

You can buy a RB-57F kit from Mach II in 1/72, got one in the stash which I had started before my house move a few years ago, but it's still buried in the packing boxes.

Looks interesting! From the NASA pics it appears that several other parts would be required to make it the NASA version. Of course then there are the NASA decals. Off to google I go!

Quick results!!

Great minds thinking alike maybe?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
