This
is the 1/48 scale Kinetic Tracker that modellers have been waiting to
build for some time. At least I was waiting for some time. Now, a Canadian
version of this kit is available but rather expensive compared to the
first release, the S-2F. To make the Canadian CP-121 Tracker (S-2A) you
require a very nice conversion kit which is available from Belcher Bits.
It comes with the correct sonar bout launchers and the proper tail. Most
important it tells you what to hack away from the kit. A LOT of plastic
needs to be removed from the kit.

Several
companies are now making decals for the 1970-s to late 80s CP-121. Including,
Belcher Bits, Canmilair and Caracal. All look rather nice. But for this build I
wanted the first version of the Canadian tracker which is available from Belcher
Bits. (and Canmilair.)
I have plans for the
light green 1978 version and a pre retirement scheme from the early 90s..
