1/72 102 Hasegawa Grumman S2F-1 Tracker - Hi-Vis Paint Scheme US Navy - (S-2A)

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good

Well molded and likely from the late 1970s or early 1980s. Features 'good' cockpit detail, retractable radome, optional position landing gear, rotating propellers and more. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes US Navy decals and instructions. NOTE: only includes US Navy decals for VS-21. The Japanese decals are missing. Over 1000 Trackers were completed for the Navy as carrier-based submarine hunters. Grumman was awarded the contract in 1950, and in 1952 the first XS2F-1 flew. The large belly radome contained the PAS-38 search radar and the ASQ-10 MAD detector was in the tail. ALD-3 ECM performed DF (direction finding) duties, and the 70 million candle power spotlight lit up targets at night. Sonobuoys were held in both engine nacelles and offensive weapons included acoustic torpedoes, depth charges, rockets and conventional bombs. Trackers saw service in several other Navies including Canada.
