This one has been on the bench entirely too long. I've had this kit since the early 80's.
The Grumman S2F-1 tracker was stationed at Los Alamitos, California, Naval Training Facility. Los Alamitos has been been a Naval Training Facility and a Naval Air Station (NAS). This S2F-1 was used for naval undersea warfare training off the coast of California in the late 1960s. This model is a representation of those airplanes.
My apologies that my camera skills and staging SUCK. I have no patience and am unwilling to correct aggregious mistakes. Example. The retractable radar under the ventral side of the plane is fully extended in all pics. My model actually allows this to move and I thought it was retracted. Unfortanately, the little friction has resulted in its extension while posed in the ground. This is incorrect. In actuality, it is supposed to be snug almost flush with the ventral fuselage.
I lost interest in this kit over the summer and finished up just recently. Some might notice the odd exhaust stain tracks on the upper surface. These are actually historically correct, as I have numerous operational photos that depict the exact same curvature. Note also the upper engine exhaust shields to prevent loss of night vision. I'm sure these also contributed to the exhaust flow being somewhat out of the ordinary.
