MLD Grumman Tracker, PBM-5A Mariner
A lot of "Stoef" for your money as the Tracker was often called at the MLD, supplemented with a pair of Mariners.

Martin PBM-5A Mariner 16-306 VSQ 321 Biak 1959 – Hasegawa/Revell
In principle, you can put together 1 aircraft with the set, but the set offers you all the possibilities in terms of registration. With the Revell kit you can do a bit more but see if you can purchase it again. The Hasegawa is still available but is expensive especially for such an old model. I have not been able to find the Martin so quickly.
The set offers a good opportunity for a nice buildup of your model collection. I like the grey HATO Tracker based on Curaçao.
Thanks to Dutch Decal for making it available for review.
