Sabrejet Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 For those following my WIP thread, I can now finally say it's finished! In fact there were a few other bits I was going to do (wing stays for one), and I may well do them at some point but for now I'm happy. Thanks to all those who followed. 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janneman36 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Now that is a fine Fury, I love it What I really like is the wheathering of the panel lines as I am not a big fan of heavy preshading... cheers, Jan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Beautiful job!! All it needs is the witty commentary and i'd mistake it for a Navy Bird project. Plan to take a break from Furies for a while....or do you have another one in the works? -d- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Brilliant job their SJ, lots in your WiP to inspire. What's next, the -3, have your Christmas first.

Sabrejet Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 Thanks all: I have to say I don't really like the pre-shading either, but I have to admit that the panel lines on my effort are too stark too: that was my mistake because it should have been done with a dark gray wash instead. Next time.... I will be doing the FJ-3 sometime but I'm going to wait and see what (if any) aftermarket decals will be coming along before I do that. And though not a great fan of the 'chuck loads of aftermarket at it' thing, I may wait and see what crops up there too. I do like those drone director FJ-3D and FJ-3D2 but I think I'll let RidgeRunner do that one justice. So no FJ-3 next. In fact it's a toss-up between a 1/48 F-86A conversion, a 1/32 Tiger Moth, a 1/35 Bedford Armadillo or a 1/43 Alfa TZ2 (race car). How's that for eclectic? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almac Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Very impressive work there. I’ve been following the WIP and making notes for my -3m when I get round to it. Mine will be OOB as my kit-assemblers skills won’t stretch to the improvements you have made. Anyways excellent work, very inspiring.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, SJ, but I can't see me getting the detail that you got in to this build. Yes, mine with be a FJ-3D for sure. I am amassing the decals and will be drawing some of them. It won't be just yet as I have a queue! Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very eclectic indeed but variety is the spice of life. An F-86A conversion would be my choice but then I'm biased but I'm sure that what ever you decide, it will be a good build.

Sabrejet Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 Many thanks all for the kind words: I've had a day or so to think about it and the next voyage of mystery and adventure will be with Matchbox's 1/32 Tiger Moth.

72modeler Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) SJ, That rattling sound you hear is me putting my FJ-2 parts back in the box- ain't no way I could do to mine what you have done with yours; I can only echo what the others have said. I want to say, on behalf of the rest of the BM'ers, how much we have appreciated the incredible amount of reference photos, text, and in-progress shots of your Fury build- I don't know about the rest of the gang, but I for one have learned a lot from what you have posted, and not just on the Fury, but the F-86 as well. Thanks for being such a great resource as well as a model builder. Now, knock back a couple of cold ones, take a break, and get ready to grace us with another goodie! Mike P.S. You and Tommy both deserve our thanks for what you have given all of us on the Furies.

You and Tommy both deserve our thanks for what you have given all of us on the Furies. You're too kind: my effort is a bit rough round the edges and I'm sure many can do better. In any case it's a nice kit and I know you'll enjoy building it. OK it needs a bit of work but the aftermarket will soon catch up on the main bits and I for one will be doing an FJ-3 or 3M when that's the case, just to see how much different it would be. Plus I think I'd like to do a Fury in 'launch' mode with the nose gear fully extended. In the meantime I'm into the 1/32 Tiger Moth (which is moving slowly but surely) and at some point I'll be doing a 1/48 F-86 based on the Eduard/Hasegawa kit but I haven't decided if it will be an A, E or F yet. Glad to have been of help too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
