Hasegawa 2440 1/72 S2F-U Tracker 'Target Tow Plane'

Model Kit

Step back into the Cold War era with this 1/72 scale model of the S2F-U Tracker, a specialized variant of the S-2 Tracker used by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) for target towing during anti-aircraft training exercises.

This limited edition kit captures the distinctive orange and gray livery of the JMSDF, complete with decals for aircraft “9151” from the 61st Air Group. The model features finely molded parts, including resin and metal components to accurately depict the target towing device mounted beneath the fuselage. With 70 parts and a length of approximately 7.1 inches, this kit offers a unique addition to any collection, highlighting a lesser-known yet vital role in naval aviation history.
