About product

F3H-2 Demon 1:48 — Hobby Boss

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American carrier-borne jet fighter McDonnell F3H-2 Demon in 1:48 scale from Hobby Boss. The parts are molded in gray and clear plastic, and the box holds a well-detailed cockpit with an instrument panel, detailed landing gear, photo-etched parts and decals for four US Navy machines.

The real subject

The F3H Demon was an American single-engine carrier fighter built by McDonnell in the 1950s, with a characteristic swept wing. The F3H-2 was the first fully operational variant of the Demon family and became one of the first US Navy carrier fighters armed with guided air-to-air missiles. It served as an all-weather interceptor and, in design experience and concept alike, directly foreshadowed the later famous McDonnell F-4 Phantom II.

Building and painting tips

Paint and assemble the cockpit and the instrument panel before closing the fuselage, because once it is glued there is no access to them. Separate the parts with a sharp knife and glue them with liquid cement for plastic, and glue the fine photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Mask the canopy glazing before spraying. Apply a primer before painting and spray the scheme with an airbrush in thin coats. The period naval finish in gloss white and gray calls for a smooth gloss base and a subtle panel wash.

Who the model is for

  • For enthusiasts of US Navy carrier aviation
  • For lovers of the early jet fighters of the 1950s
  • For collectors of McDonnell aircraft in 1:48 scale
