Print Scale 72-104 Decal Grumman S-2 Tracker Scale 1:72 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 72-104 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:72 scale aircraft models of the Grumman S-2 Tracker, a carrier-based anti-submarine and maritime surveillance aircraft originally developed for the United States Navy. This decal set provides a selection of historically documented marking options covering several production variants and service contexts.

The Grumman S-2 Tracker was widely used by naval aviation units from the 1950s through later Cold War service and into the late 20th century. It served aboard aircraft carriers and in shore-based maritime patrol squadrons, including units of the US Navy and allied naval air arms. The markings in this set reflect a range of unit identifiers, national insignia, and bureau numbers appropriate for different operators and eras.

The decals are printed on thin carrier film to support precise placement on the fuselage, wings, and tail of the Tracker airframe. This set is compatible with any 1:72 scale plastic model kit representing the S-2 family and is recommended for advanced modelers due to the variety of schemes and detail required for maritime surveillance aircraft markings.
