Print Scale 48-217 Decal Grumman S-2 Tracker Part 2 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-217 waterslide decals are intended for 1/48 scale aircraft models of the Grumman S-2 Tracker, specifically the early S-2A (S2F-1) version in United States Navy carrier service. This Part 2 set provides one complete aircraft option with the prominent tail code and unit identifiers typical of mid-1950s US Navy deck aircraft.

Scale: 1/48 (also written as 1:48). The sheet includes major airframe identifiers such as tail code letters, unit titles, national insignia, and a matching serial/BuAer number set, supported by selected technical stencil elements.

The S-2 Tracker was developed for carrier-based patrol and anti-submarine duties, and many aircraft were finished in overall sea-blue style schemes with clear high-contrast markings for deck identification. The combination of large tail codes and unit titles makes it a straightforward, well-defined subject for a single-aircraft build.

For modelers, this release is useful when you want a complete option that does not require mixing parts from different units. The set includes larger code elements that benefit from careful alignment, plus smaller stencil details and propeller-area warning markings, making it best suited to intermediate and advanced builds on any compatible 1/48 Tracker kit.

FAQ

Is this Part 2 sheet a single-aircraft set or a multi-option package?

This release provides markings for one specific S-2A (S2F-1) aircraft option, with the codes and numbers matched to that subject.

Does the set include the BuAer number for the aircraft?

Yes. The sheet includes the BuAer number set used for this option, presented as the aircraft number blocks shown on the decal layout.

Are technical stencils included?

Selected technical stencil markings are included to add airframe detail, alongside the main identifiers and national insignia.

What kind of kit compatibility should I expect in 1/48?

The decals are intended for 1/48 S-2 Tracker kits. Because tooling can differ slightly between manufacturers, test-fitting larger markings before final placement is recommended.
