balls47 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 WOW! I love the FJ-3 Fury. It's like an F-86 Saber on steroids. You certainly know your way around the bench. Great Job!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dekon70 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Wow! That is flawless looking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Don't know how I missed this. I happen to have the GP and the ESCI kits. You've just inspired me to try that conversion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The completed decaling really looks tremendous. Looking forward to you finally finishing the Fury. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Chladek Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Oh man! Beautiful kitbash! Please finish this up in first class fashion and offer it up as a sacrifice to the modeling gods, so to rest of us that don't have your conversion skills end up with a new kit of it. ;) Seriously though, outstanding work and very inspiring.

Ivy-5 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hi ! Thanks for your kind comments. In the meantime I started the GP FJ-4 and am quite surprised to discover the fit and ease of build to be better with this Fury/Fury kitbash than with the plain GP kit ! Ok now, on to the canopy. Kit canopy is wrong and sits too high. A comparison with the D&S drawings shows that the top curve is correct, so I decided to correct it. All black underlined plastic must go: Side by side before-and-after comparison: Of course I managed to break it on the very last cut. Plaster and hot clear styrene, what else ? Well, in the end it should look like this... Still some triming and touching up to do, but this one seems nearly done. Cheers ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AD-4N Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I gotta tell you, I suspect the upcoming Kitty Hawk FJ-3 won't be as well done as your model. Fantastic job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fantastic job. Hi ! Thanks for your kind comment. Well, would you believe that I forgot about this build till today ? IIRC the seat misses some paint and straps, and landing gear doors need to be cemented. Thanks for the reminder, should try to finish it soon now. Of course I have excuses, as in the meantime I got involved in some other conversion works Monogram-Koster Privateer Tamiya-AMT Skyraider AEW-1 While currently (read lazily) working on a Tamiya-Matchbox AD-5 Cheers !
