Corey in Colorado Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Here is my recently completed Kitty Hawk 1/48 FJ-2 Fury. The markings are from Caracal's second FJ-2 sheet. Paints are MRP International Orange 232, Gunze Mr Color Insignia White 316 and Insignia Red 327. From Hypersonic Models I used their ejection seat and cockpit details and nose gear. I used CAT4 resin wheels. Edited January 18, 2021 by Corey in Colorado 51 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Top notch! Love that. I am fairly sure mine will pale by comparison. Great finish too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scimitar F1 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 That is a stunning build and a very good representation of a hard scheme to execute. Can I ask how you masked it? Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammy da fish Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Yes very impressive build there, only thing that I would say is how much pressure in those tyres must be well overinflated. However if mine was as good as this I:would be celebrating with a nice Pint🍺 sammy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Any positive adjective cannot accurately describe just how impressive and beautiful this particular Fury is. I compliment your skills and attention to detail. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask how you masked it? Will Will, I did it the old fashioned way, I used Tamiya tape laid out on a green mat, cut with a French curve and an xacto knife. It wasn’t hard, just took some time. It’s certainly not perfect, I feel I could have made the fuselage curve over the wing better, and the “swish” on the tail isn’t 100% correct.

North American used this weird experimental cockpit color for their FJ-2’s (not sure about FJ-3’s). I guess it wasn’t popular because it wasn’t used in many other aircraft in the US. I used AK Soviet Cockpit Turquoise with a little blue mixed in. This ended up being very bright, so I knocked it down with a black wash and matte clear coat.

Peter W Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I have been hovering over the buy button on one of these for a while and this may just have tipped the balance, absolutely gorgeous build and a great scheme too. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
