Sir Desmond Glazebrook Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I am curious to know if there is a good large scale Tracker? I always liked this aircraft and the RAN used to fly it. Watch this video of a Grumman Tracker fly through a wave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Dale, To my knowledge, the only 1/32nd scale Grumman Tracker is a vac-formed release from Tigger Models. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/tigger-models-06-grumman-s-2-tracker--938047 According to his Facebook page, it is still available: http://tigger-models.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/welcome-to-tigger-models.html S 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrankyCrafstman Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Id love a good styrene S2 tracker. I flew off my Carrier (USS Wasp CVS18) to Norfolk, VA. In one in 1970. My next door neighbor died in a crash in one in 1969 on the USS Wasp, he was coming in for a landing and the ship up rolled just as he was making his approach, he crashed into the fan tail killing all on board and two crew on the fan tail. He was newly married with a young infant son. Very sad, but that was the life of a navy pilot, landing on a carrier at sea is the most dangerous job there is. Anyway it would be nice to have the large rardar dome as an option. We had both on or ship plus the helios too. Ron G 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
