	NAA FJ-1 Fury
		As detailed in Chapter 1, NAA's NA-134 design soon developed into the swept-wing XP-86 for the Air Force, but the Navy stood by the straight-winged proposal.
		It is not known when the name 'Fury' was assigned to the FJ-1, but by early 1948 the name was in regular use.
		Prototype XFJ-1 Fury Bu 39053 on roll-out at Inglewood.

	Siga's 1/72 North American FJ-1 Fury
		The 30 FJ-1 Furies didn't serve for long in the Navy, as newer, faster, and more maneuverable jets came online, but it does have the distinction of being one of the first Navy jets and the father of the prolific and powerful Sabre lineage.
		The Siga kit of the FJ-1 Fury is pretty good, although it is not as good as the box would have you think.
		A quick glance at the box would make you think that this is a Hasegawa kit, as the styling of the entire boxtop imitates that of the current Hasegawa releases, right down to the small print on the side stating not where it was manufactured, but rather "Suggested by Japan".

	[1.0] F-86A Through F-86D
		On 1 January 1945, the company received a contract from the Navy for 100 of these fighters, which was given the company designation "Model NA-134" and the Navy designation "FJ-1".
		However, the XP-86 was as sleek as the FJ-1 Fury was tubby, and gave the impression of a flying shark.
		Another big difference was that while the number 1 prototype had three air brakes -- one on each side of the rear fuselage and one on the bottom, hinged on the rear -- the number 3 prototype had two air brakes, one on each side of the redesigned rear fuselage, and hinged on the front.

		Illustrating that was the FJ-1 Fury, a portly aircraft that began on drawing boards as a jet-powered version of North American Aviation Inc.’s wartime P-51 Mustang fighter.
		The squadron was redesignated VF-51 in 1949 and the Fury soon was replaced by the F9F-3 Panther.
		At least two FJ-1 Furys are displayed at museums in the United States.

	North American FJ-1 Fury
		The USAF ordered a land-based version of the Fury under the designation XP-86, but North American was eventually to adapt the aircraft to a swept-wing configuration to produce the famed Sabre of Korean War fame.
		The Fury has a small wheel mounted on the nosewheel strut which permitted the aircraft to "kneel" nose-down to facilitate parking aboard carriers.

		On September 1, 1979 the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing was redesignated the 355th Tactical Training Wing.
		Four designs were considered; one from Douglas Aircraft based on the A-4 Skyhawk, one from North American based on the FJ-1 Fury, one form Grumman based on the A-6 Intruder (still under development), and one from Vought based on the F-8U Crusader.

	FJ Fury
		The FJ was related to the F-86 Sabre, but the relationship between the types was far more complex than one being a derivative of another.
		On 10 March 1948 the carrier suitability of the FJ-1 Fury jet fighter was tested on board Boxer off San Diego, with a number of landings and takeoffs by Commander Evan Aurand and Lieutenant Commander R. Elder of Fighter Squadron 5A.
		The Fury was last reported in squadron on 30 September 1962.

	Aircraft: North American F-86L Sabre
		The aircraft became known as "Fury" (FJ-2, FJ-3, FJ-4, and FJ-4B).
		Produced in greater quantities than any other aircraft since the end of World War II, the F86 Sabre was the pride of the US Air Force during the Korean War, and the front line interceptor in most NATO and SEATO countries during the 1950's.
		The Sabre was the first aircraft to employ radar in head on targeting, carry all rocket armament, carry one pilot for flying and radar control, and have electronic engine fuel control.

		Because the North American FJ-1 Fury was the U.S. Navy's first operational Jet aircraft it has occupied a unique position in the annals of Naval aviation history.
		When testing of the Fury began the Navy was not even sure jet aircraft could be operated from aircraft carriers.
		There have been several FJ-1 Fury kits in 1/72 scale and a couple vacuform kits in 1/48th scale, but the limited production Czech Model kit is the first injection molded kit in 1/48th scale.

		The 1956 project of the Martin company was done for the US Navy that wanted a fast, large range flying boat that could strike anywhere in the world from remote bases on sea.
		The Seamaster was capable of flying almost Mach 1 "on the deck", eg at sealevel.
		Although the design was OK, the project was cancelled after a number of accidents and large costs overruns.

	North American FJ-2 Fury
		The reasons may have been more political than technical, the Navy hoping that the Congress would look more kindly on an aircraft which was a "logical extension" of an existing type than to one which was completely new and probably much more likely to cost the taxpayer a ton of money.
		Although slower in level flight than the FJ-2 Fury, the Cougar was considered better at operations from carrier flight decks.
		VMF-235 used their Furies in steam catapult tests aboard the USS Hancock, with some 254 launchings of various types of aircraft being made with the ship's new C-11 steam catapults.

		A bubble canopy was fitted, and the wing utilized retractable, slatted air brakes in the upper and lower surfaces.
		The Fury has a small wheel mounted on the nosewheel strut.
		The first landing of a Fury on an aircraft carrier took place on March 16, 1948, when Commander Pete Aurand, CO of VF-5A, landed aboard the USS Boxer.

		After being moved to the High Desert in September, the Sabre made its first flight on October 1, 1947, with George Welch as the pilot.
		Welch was to make the flight last no longer than 10 minutes, however, this plan did not last, when Welch tried to lower the landing gear.

	North American Aviation
		The NA-16, a fixed-gear, two-place, low-wing monoplane, won the trainer competition in 1934 and, on April 1, 1935, became the first North American model-numbered airplane to be flown.
		The North American FJ-1 Fury was a single-engine, single-seat, low-wing monoplane with short stubby wings looking much like a high-flying bomb.
		The North American B-45 Tornado was one of America's first operational bombers to use jet propulsion and was the first four-engine aircraft to fly in the United States.

	North American F86 Sabre Jet Fighter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The Sabre first flew as the XF-86 in 1 October 1947, but it wasn't operational until 1948 as North American Aviation incorporated as much of the new jet technology captured from the Germans as was possible.
		Most important of which was the concept of the swept-back wing that enabled much higher speeds, approaching the speed of sound (Mach 1).
		It was first built as the FJ-1 Fury for the American Navy with a straight wing, but it was much slower, and therefore, less capable than the F-86.

		The new aircraft had an air intake in the nose, straddled by three 12.7 millimeter Browning guns on each side, with a high-sitting plexiglas bubble canopy that slid backwards to open.
		However, the XP-86 was as sleek as the FJ-1 Fury was tubby, giving the impression of a flying shark.
		The XP-86's flight instruments were not capable of determining if the aircraft were moving faster than Mach 1, and so supersonic speed had to be confirmed by ground-based measurements.

		The FJ-1 Fury was first commissioned in 1945, but the final version was not delivered until 1948, and never saw action in WWII.
		A twin-engine jet designed for carrier landings, the Fury was armed with six.50-caliber machine guns with 1,500 rounds total.
		Fury, the youngest officer of Mustang's staff, is often mistranslated in fansubs as Huey.

		After delays and an engine change, the first prototype took to the air on Sept. 11, 1946, flown by civilian engineering test pilot Wallace Lien.
		Norman Avery, a former North American employee and author of “North American Aircraft, 1994-1998,” said the Navy was disappointed that the straight-winged Fury could not reach its target speed of 600 miles per hour.
		The mystery is why the Navy proceeded with a fighter having a straight wing —a mistake, viewed in retrospect — while the Air Force was putting a swept wing on an almost identical fuselage and creating the F-86 Sabre, which became the great U.S. fighter of the Korean War.

		The design progressed through the mock-up stage, but by the summer of 1945 it was apparent that the fighter's top speed would be well below the 600 mph called for in the specification.
		After scale model wind tunnel tests, the designers selected a wing that was swept back at an angle of 35 degrees, and added automatic leading edge slats to solve the stability problem.
		In April 1948, the XP-86 exceeded Mach 1 (the speed of sound) in a shallow dive.

		The F-86 Sabre started out as a redesigned Fury, became the first aircraft to achieve Mach 1 in normal level flight, and achieved fame in the Korean War shooting down MiGs.
		In 1960, the new CEO Lee Atwood decided to focus on the space program, and the company were the chief contractors for the Apollo Command and Service Module and the second stage of the Saturn V.
		However, the Apollo 1 fire in January 1967 was partly blamed on the company, and in March they merged with Rockwell.

		The North American Aviation FJ-1 Fury, the first of a series of four Navy aircraft, was a single-engine, single-seat, low-wing monoplane with short stubby wings looking much like a high-flying bomb.
		The FJ-1 was the first American jet fighter to employ a single, straight ram duct with its entrance in the nose.
		Characteristic of the airplane was the high vertical stabilizer, with a ten-degree dihedral, or upsweep, of the horizontal surfaces, which placed the tail assembly up out of the wing shockwave area at high speeds and increases stability.

		One point though with both Siga kits is that they are both covered in mold release agent that needs to be washed off with warm soapy water before touching the parts.
		The sprues gates on the Fury are commendably thin and in fact the kit reminds me of 1970’s style Airfix offerings, basic but usable.
		You will have to try and find a photo of the Fury from front on to help you with the angle as there is no front view in the instruction sheet.

		Deliveries of these aircraft began in March 1948 with Allison-built engines, but by this time the order had been cut to 30 aircraft as the Fury had been overtaken by the rapid development of more advanced fighters.
		Some aircraft equipped the VF-5A on the USS Boxer, and this squadron became the first to serve at sea under operational conditions with a jet fighter.
		At the end of the day I have finished with a very nice looking model of the FJ-1 Fury, so on that basis I would recommend this kit to those with some modelling experience, can rework the kit a bit and of course "must have" a Fury in their collection.
