Hi everyone, after the FJ-2 tail surfaces correction set, a couple more Fury resin products for the Kitty Hawk kit are available for purchase from Hypersonic Models and selected partners: First a cockpit update set that provides a new aft bulkhead and turtledeck with all the details, a detailed ejection seat with belts and harness straps and a part for the loop antenna assembly. https://www.hypersonicmodels.com/product/fj-2-fury-cockpit-update-set Next is a nose gear strut with the lower (corrected) yoke cast in brass and the upper resin strut with refined detail and a nickel silver rod cast inside. This not only provides the necessary strength but also eliminates the need to paint the oleo strut part. https://www.hypersonicmodels.com/product/fj-2-3-fury-nose-gear-upgrade I have one more update set for the FJ-2 in the works right now... Cheers, Jeffrey

This is my 1/72 Sword FJ-2 Fury. This is a nice kit and it only took 9 days to complete, start to finish. The only fit issue was the upper wing to fuselage seam which had a large gap. The only other issue was rather thick wing trailing edges which I tried to thin down with limited success. The decals were very thin and showed no silvering (of course, how could I tell on a silver model ) with the film totally disappearing, but they had no body, one review called then squishy, and had a tendency to suddenly decide to stick where they were and hold on like glue. This was especially true for the decals that were mostly lettering. This lead to some distortion and only 2 of the No Steps survived I spent a lot of time on getting a good finish for the Alclad aluminum and I think it came out pretty good this time. So on to the pictures. This time the interior was remarkably free of dust, but I am not sure what is going on with the front. Transparencies are always my bane. Next up is the Skale Wings AD-5W Skyraider. Enjoy.

There was a lot of excitement after the release of Sword's FJ-2/3/3M kits but so far I haven't seen anyone building one (well apart from me that is ). Why so quiet? Anyone out there doing one or maybe a few?
