One of 22 J2F-5s delivered to Argentina in 1948, can't tell much more than that. They also got 9 J2F-6s.

The photo is also in this book....

The caption reads, "Capotage of the Grumman J2F-5 Duck 0252/2-O-24 on 04.13.49 in Commandante Espora, with TN Radl and CS Pardo as crew" There is also a photo of another Duck in the same situation, a G-15 (equivalent to J2F-4), coded 3-O-10

I have a kit that has Argentine markings. WAY DOWN on the list of to-builds. Neat looking plane through.

Shorking cork-up! They were supposed to get 6 J2F-9s. Apparently some junior airman held the chitty the wrong way up.
