Magazine articles

I thought that I would include a section on magazines and articles found for research.
Scale Aircraft Modeling June 2017 has articles on the 1/144 Blackburn Beverley and the Grumman S-2 Tracker in profile. Although the S-2 Turbo Tracker is mentioned there's no artwork or line drawings. They do a run down on kits available as well as the Trader and Tracer.
There could be an opportunity for someone like Freightdog to do the Trader conversion as the Whiffing potential for the ASW , AEW, Firecat , COD and in-flight tanker.

IIRC Falcon do a vacform Trader fuselage in their '3 in 1' range. I may even have one somewhere........

I think that I have the same one. It's a bit odd that Hasegawa only produced the 1/72 kit; revised by a few other companies and Miniwings the 1/144.
Mach2 do the E-1B Tracer and RVHP the resin Tracer conversion.
AlleyCat provides a1/72 Marsh Turbo along with Wolf Model for the Conair S-2 Firecat.
1/48 fans have the Italeri reboxed Kinetic. There are resin improvement sets and white metal landing gear. An assortment of decals, folding wings and etched sets.

A couple of Turbo Firecats that I took photos of in Corsica back in 2005.
