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.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
The kit replicates the six underwing stations and attachment points so builders can add drop tanks or stores that reflect the FJ-4B's ground attack role; aftermarket accessories can enhance realism further.
Use model-grade plastic cement for assembly and hobby acrylic or enamel paints suited to plastic kits; check references for authentic Navy colour schemes.
This kit is best for builders with some experience due to small parts and underwing fittings, though careful beginners can complete it with patience and basic modelling tools.
