Quickboost QB48512 S2F Tracker Engines (Kinetic 1/48)

The Quickboost QB48512 S2F Tracker engines set is a high-quality resin engine kit dedicated to the 1/48 scale S2F Tracker model by Kinetic. The product is precisely designed to provide an exceptional level of detail that you won't find in the standard plastic parts included with the original kit. It’s an excellent choice for modelers looking to achieve the highest level of realism when replicating the engines of this legendary United States Navy aircraft.

The S2F Tracker is an American carrier-based patrol and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft, first produced in the early 1950s by Grumman. This aircraft played a key role during the Cold War, forming the backbone of US Navy maritime ASW aviation, as well as the armed forces of Canada, Argentina, Taiwan, and several other countries. S-2 variants saw operational service, including patrol operations over the Pacific and Atlantic, until the late 1980s.

The engines in the Quickboost QB48512 set are faithfully reproduced in resin – every detail, such as cylinder ribbing, wiring, or cowl and propeller details match the original Wright R-1820 Cyclone engines. This enables an accurate reconstruction of this characteristic part of the aircraft, significantly enhancing the visual quality of the finished model. The material used for the set is top-grade resin, ensuring excellent sharpness of details and ease of working.
