Hobby Boss 80313 FJ-4B Fury: Ground Attack Variant in 1:48

The FJ-4B Fury holds a notable place in naval aviation history as a ground attack version of the FJ-4, produced in larger numbers than earlier marks. While conceptually related to the F-86H Sabre, the FJ-4B was engineered with six underwing stations capable of carrying up to 6,000 pounds of stores such as drop tanks, rockets or bombs, which made it a flexible strike asset for the US Navy.

Scale Details and Build Accuracy

The Hobby Boss 80313 FJ-4B Fury kit gives modellers a chance to build a faithful 1:48 replica, with parts designed to capture the aircraft's structural features and underwing fittings. The moulded components aim to deliver crisp panel lines and realistic attachment points for external stores, creating a satisfying build process for detail-focused hobbyists.

Display Value and Historical Context

Assembling this kit offers more than a finished model; it reveals design choices of mid 20th century carrier aircraft and the operational role of the FJ-4B. Once completed, the model makes a strong display piece that highlights both the Fury's utilitarian silhouette and its significance in naval aviation development.
