Build your static model fleet with the 1/48 scale S-2 E/F/G Tracker Plastic Model Kit. The beginning of the Cold War, saw the gradual evolution of naval and submarine military technology, the United States Navy found it necessary to adopt an aircraft able to meet the needs of long-range maritime patrol and antisubmarine warfare platform (ASW). The Grumman S-2 Tracker entered in service in the mid 1950s and was the operational response to this new demand.

The configuration of the aircraft with two Wright R-1820 radial engines guaranteed a range of more than 2,000 km. This range, considering its ability to take off either from airport or from carriers, became the perfect solution for its sea patrol duties. Its internal bay and under wing pylons could also ensure the transport and use of a variety of anti-submarine and anti-ships weapons such as torpedoes, naval mines and conventional bombs. The Tracker was also a commercial success for Grumman company. It was bought by the U.S. Navy and by air forces of several countries world wide
