I don't know where this thread has been hiding from me (!) but I just caught up with it -congratulations on a really magnificent outcome for this awesome project.

 

Yesterday, Mads Bangsø's Aircraftprofiles turned up on Facebook's Navy Planes In Scale page with just such a Fury. The sheer coolness of VF-33's '55 markings had me scratching around eBay to locate ESCI's 1/48 monopoly of this elegant aircraft. But having read this...not gonna happen any time soon! I can only hope that Kitty Hawk will augment their Cougars and Banjos with the -3 we all deserve.

Finally managed to get some pic sup in RFI for this one.

Cheers for watching, and thank you all for your support and comments. The FJ-3 may not have been a total winner as a navy fighter, but to my eyes its the prettiest "Sabre" of all.

Kitty Hawk just announced they will be doing a FJ-3 Fury. CADs have been posted to their Facebook page. Renderings look pretty good.

Hi - yes i saw that - looks like and early and late version ( or perhaps an FJ-2 & 3 - its hard to say from the CAD without seeing the nose intake properly)
