About product

North American FJ-4 Fury 1:48 - Hobby Boss

An injection-molded plastic kit of the carrier jet fighter North American FJ-4 Fury in 1:48 scale from Hobby Boss. The model has finely engraved panel lines, a detailed cockpit with an instrument panel, well worked out landing gear, a glazed canopy made of clear parts and decals for US Navy carrier squadrons.

The real subject

The FJ-4 Fury was a carrier jet fighter of the US Navy and the Marine Corps. It came from a design line related to the land-based F-86 Sabre but was fundamentally reworked for operation from aircraft carriers and gained a new swept wing as well as a stronger structure. It served at the end of the 1950s, and the attack version FJ-4B carried external stores. The Fury was one of the important machines in the transition of the US Navy to jet aircraft.

Building and painting tips

Separate the parts with a sharp knife and glue them with thin liquid cement for plastic. Finish the cockpit and accentuate it with a wash before closing the fuselage. Mask the cockpit glazing for sharp frames. Spray the glossy naval finish with an airbrush over a primer and add a fine panel wash; paint any external stores separately.

Who the model is for

  • For fans of early US Navy carrier jet fighters
  • For modelers with basic to intermediate experience
  • For collectors of Cold War aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • For lovers of machines related to the F-86 Sabre

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Yes, the Fury comes from a related design line, but it was substantially reworked for carrier operation from aircraft carriers and has a new wing.

Check the range of external stores against the particular box; the attack version of the Fury was adapted to carry weapons.

It is manageable even for slightly advanced builders; the cockpit and the landing gear call for care.
