Here are two Navy transport
aircraft that on many occasions in the past have landed at Luqa airfield, Malta, whenever a
US carrier called at our port on visit. The Grumman Trader is a Falcon conversion
kit comprising of vacform fuselage, nacelle ends, and alterations to the wings
leading edges coming from a Hasegawa Tracker kit. The Hawkeye also built to 1/72
scale is a completely scratch built model with cast aluminum wings, engines and
props and wooden fuselage. Decals came from various Super
Scale brand often wondered why there was only a Falcon conversion kit of the
Hawkeye when there are so many navy aircraft enthusiasts all over the world.
