1/72 04629 Revell Grumman S-2A Tracker - US Navy or Dutch Navy

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Sealed NM

Still factory sealed. Well molded kit. Has markings for US Navy or Netherlands Navy. Kit features cockpit detail, retractable radome, optional position landing gear and rotating props. 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 AWQ-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.
