Why build this? Basically it’s @Sabrejet fault because he asked 'why there were so few builds of the FJ-2, FJ-3 Furies' after all the hullabaloo, and my eyes got drawn towards the stash. Not a FJ-2 or -3 or a -3M but this: The plastic sprue was virtually free of any flash, had fine engraved panel lines and exquisite recessed riveting, I only hope I can keep the paint layers fine enough to see this detail. The PE is for the cockpit detail and parts of the undercarriage, and looks pretty good. The resin parts are the intake/ front wheel well combo, main wheel wells, wheels, undercarriage and other little bits. Glasing options are for both open and shut canopies. Decals are for two NARW aircraft and look quite good, time will tell. After seeing what some of you guys do, I thought I’d get a feel for the kits accuracy and downloaded some drawings for the FJ-1 and scaled them down. As we can see, the fuselage comes out as being 2mm short but everything of importance seems to be in the right place. All look good to me, well chuffed. Not sure when the next update will be as I need to get some US Navy paints. Thanks for looking. Stuart

Started to gather drawings and data for this a/c. The kit gives you the option for a canopy open but I read somewhere that some detail is missing with the rear of the canopy? Can anybody help? Does anybody any decals for the a/c as the kit I've got is a reserve unit and I would an operational unit? Thanks. Stuart
