The FJ-4B Fury was a carrier-capable jet fighter and ground-attack aircraft operated by the United States Marine Corps (USMC) during the 1950s and early 1960s. As an evolution of the F-86 Sabre, the FJ-4B featured increased fuel capacity, stronger landing gear, and the ability to carry a heavier payload of bombs and rockets, making it an effective ground-attack fighter during the early Cold War period. The Fury played a key role in close air support missions and was one of the last piston-engine fighters used by the USMC before the transition to more modern jet fighters.
This expertly crafted 1:48 scale model, built from the Hobby Boss kit, brings the FJ-4B Fury to life with exceptional detail. Each component was carefully assembled, ensuring a precise fit and an accurate representation of this iconic aircraft.
To give the model a battle-worn, realistic appearance, advanced weathering techniques were used, including panel line washes, subtle paint chipping, and exhaust staining. These effects, combined with expertly applied decals and surface detailing, replicate the operational wear seen on the real aircraft during its time with the USMC. Whether you're a history enthusiast or model collector, this highly detailed model is a perfect representation of the legendary FJ-4B Fury.
