KursadA Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I did the FJ-2 and FJ-3, so why not this one. CD48208 will be a new sheet for the Hobby Boss FJ-4 Fury kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
efd327 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 How about 1 from a utility squadron with the dark grey fuselage, yellow wings and tail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Oorah! Hopefully some Marine machines will be included. VMF-323 Diamondbacks come to mind. Also Navy FAGU. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghostbase Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Excellent news! I have one each of the HobbyBoss FJ-4 kits in the stash as well as an ancient Matchbox kit from way back when. Looking forward to this one 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mattsimps74 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 She’s all ready for you KursadA! I’ve cobbled together what I can from generic decal sheets, including your beautiful fj-3 sheet -maybe you could fill in the blanks for me, like those tricky slanted tail letters😉? Yours in hope, Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yours in hope, Matt Nice - I am glad you were able to find most of what you needed. This was an option that I was going to include on the sheet anyway - so I might as well draw those tail markings for you. I will draw and post a printable PDF file tonight, so you can use a b&w laser printer to make them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mattsimps74 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Wow! Really? That’s awesome, I was only half joking!! Thank you so much! She’s going to look great with all the white stencils on, too, your decals are the best out there. Brilliant stuff Kindest regards, Matt 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks to you Corey, too, your Fj-2 is an inspiration, I hope to do a Kitty Hawk -3 in orange and white at some stage, too. Wonderful 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Been gathering kits, resin, and decals ever since. It's definitely a scheme for the fury that hasn't been done before. Kursad, I have some pics (not many as I haven't found much) I had been gathering for reference on my eventual build. if you need some for reference, let me know I can email them to you.

SleeperService Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I know things aren't easy but is there any update on the release for this sheet. I'm bashing a Matchbox 1/48 into shape on a Britmodeller Group Build and decals would be good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eraucubsfan Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 If you are not too far along on this sheet, will you please do VX-4? It will look great with my other VX-4 aircraft The VX-5 scheme is nice too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Been eyeballing my FJ-4 kits and looking at my Eagle Strike decals which have all mostly turned yellow. looking forward to the FJ-4 getting the Caracal treatment!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fury Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Kursad, I would like to see if the polls are still open for the FJ-4 sheet. I have three candidates who would like to enter the race: Edited February 20 by Fury Quote Link to post Share on other sites
