1/72 1102 Hasegawa Grumman S2F-1 Tracker - Hi-Vis Paint Scheme (S-2A / S2F1)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed VG
Still factory sealed. 1970s issue from very good, detailed molds. 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.
