Some Grumman C-1A Traders, more affectionately known as the COD for Carrier On-board Delivery, transporting personnel, cargo, and most importantly, mail to the aircraft carriers... The first few are on the VRC-30 ramp at NAS North Island in March 1982. Bureau Number 146041, Modex RW041 146057 assigned to Enterprise 146053, RW053 146055, RW055 146042, RW042 The same aircraft on the Nellis AFB transient ramp in September 1980. And 146022 on USS Ranger (CV-61), March 1982. I like the early Grumman logo on the main gear doors. I'd like to build one of these, but I think the fuselage is deeper than the S-2F available from Hasegawa. Would also need to fair over the back of the engine nacelles, on the S-2 they are bobbed to allow for sonobuoy dispensers. All the Traders are now long gone, having been replaced with the C-2 Greyhound COD. Thanks for looking, Sven
