Print Scale 48-214 Decal Grumman S-2 Tracker Part 1 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-214 waterslide decals are designed for 1/48 scale aircraft models of the Grumman S-2 Tracker, Part 1. This sheet focuses on early S-2A US Navy aircraft and provides large tail codes, “NAVY” titles, national insignia, and supporting airframe markings shown in the instruction guide.

The S-2 Tracker was a carrier-capable anti-submarine aircraft used widely by the US Navy during the Cold War period. Early high-visibility Navy schemes feature large code letters and clear placement areas, which makes the Tracker a practical subject when you want crisp markings over a solid airframe finish.

For modelers, this set is intended for 1/48 S-2 Tracker kits and works best when you choose the correct variant details for the two S-2A subjects included. Because the sheet combines prominent codes with multiple smaller service markings and stencil-style items, it is generally most comfortable for intermediate and advanced builders.
