HobbyBoss 1/48 FJ-4B

Post by Tonygol »

This is my third entry in the Cold War GB and it is a FJ-4B.

The Box art.

After a few hours of cutting and sanding you get this lot.

A simple kit build. Instructions are not the best. Most of the paint details are missing from the instructions.

Hope you like it.

Looks fantastic, your cockpits are all stunning. You seem to be able to make simple tubs look really detailed :th:

Looks awesome! I love the simplicity of the fury, and the little sleeker look than the sabre. Micht have to put this one on the list of must builds.

Only part I done tonight was to paint the underside of the FJ.
Will need a few more coats of white.
