Eduard 481039 S-2E exterior KINETIC MODEL 1/48

We offer the Eduard 481039 S-2E exterior photo-etched detail set designed for the S-2E Tracker model in 1/48 scale by Kinetic. This high-quality product from Czech manufacturer Eduard allows you to elevate the realism of external details on your Grumman S-2E aircraft model to a whole new level of detail.

Dedicated Model and Historical Application

The set is compatible with the Grumman S-2E Tracker model, an American anti-submarine and patrol aircraft that was primarily used by the United States Navy and several other countries (including Canada, Brazil, Australia) during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The aircraft was widely deployed during the Cold War era as a maritime patrol and reconnaissance platform. The S-2E Tracker took part in numerous patrol and rescue operations, especially in the Pacific Ocean basin and the Mediterranean Sea.

Scale and Materials

The Eduard 481039 set is precisely manufactured using the photo-etching technique from high-quality brass sheet. The 1/48 scale ensures excellent reproduction of even the finest details, which are difficult to achieve using traditional plastic parts. The product includes, among other things, elements for recreating surface details of the aircraft, such as grilles, service panels, ladders, antennas, access hatches, mountings, and other minor structural details of the fuselage and wings.
