Hobby Boss 80312 FJ-4 Fury in 1:48 Scale

The FJ-4 Fury is widely seen as the high point of the F-86 Sabre and FJ Fury family, notable for its distinct lines and performance. First introduced in June 1953 under project NA-208 and later produced as NA-209, the FJ-4 was developed to meet Navy targets including speeds near Mach 0.95 and service ceilings around 49,000 feet without relying on afterburner technology.

Building the FJ-4 Fury Replica

This Hobby Boss 80312 kit captures the FJ-4 Fury in accurate 1:48 scale, giving modellers a precise platform to explore mid century naval aircraft engineering. The parts and detailing reward careful assembly and painting, making this kit a fitting challenge for hobbyists with some modelling experience.

Presentation and Shelf Appeal

When finished, the model displays the Fury's aerodynamic shape and distinctive features, making it a strong focal point in a military aviation collection. Collectors and modellers alike will appreciate how the completed kit represents an important era of carrierborne fighters.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:48
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Decals: Included for authentic markings
The kit aims for a faithful 1:48 representation, with scaled airframe lines and cockpit details that match reference photos from the production NA-209 series.
This set includes fine parts and requires careful fitting and painting, so it is best suited to intermediate to advanced modellers rather than complete beginners.
Decals are supplied to provide authentic markings; they reflect commonly documented liveries and should match documentation for the chosen scheme when applied carefully.
