  Hi Steve,

  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 allover the worlds.
