This is my 1/72 Hasegawa S2F-1, AKA S-2A, Tracker. This is a pretty old mold from Hasegawa dating back to 1975 and it shows its age with more then the usual amount of flash, raised panel lines and somewhat sparse on the interior. But that being said it went together it went together well with good fit. I also had the Pavla and Eduard interiors, Quickboost engines and after market decals from PrintScale, MicroScale and Blackbird. The Pavla interior had a detailed cockpit and the electronics compartment behind the cockpit. The Eduard interior had their usual color panels, seat belts and other doo-dads. The Pavla interior required major surgery to the fuselage and so was incompatible with the Eduard. Luckily last year I build the Mach 2 E-1B and had purchased another S2F kit to use arts parts. Left over from that I had a second complete fuselage. So I built one with the Pavla and one with the Eduard. In the end I had problems with the fit of the Pavla and with warping of the resin so I went with the Eduard. But I did use the excellent seats from the Pavla so it wasn't a total loss. For the decals I was originally going to go with the all blue scheme, but I also had decals for the gray and white scheme. After much thought and indecision I figured that most of its service life would have been in the gray and white scheme so I went with the Printscale decals. This was a bit of a mistake. The Printscale decals were nice, but they were extremely thin and tended to wrinkle and roll into a little ball at the slightest attempt to move them, so in the end I ended up stealing from the Microscale set and should have used it to begin with. In the end I am happy with it, so take a look: Next up is the Planet Models XF10F-1. Enjoy

I want to add some 5" HVAR's to my S2F kit. I bought the Pavla set and they look fine, but there are no instructions as to what color to paint them. I have found some pictures, but they are black&white and other then looking dark, they are no help. Anyone know what color(s) I should paint them? Thanks Howard
