	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.

		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".

	FJ-1 Fury by Jean Charles Roux (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Fury lines were very amazing, combining the general shape of the Sabre (in more bulging form however), some Sabre-like tail fins and moreover a straight wing extrapolated from the P-51's wing.
		Though the Fury was an important plane in the American carrier plane history, its career was not a sensational one.
		FJ-1 Fury, photocopy the front view with the correct enlargement factor to put it in the 1/48 scale (Take care of the fact that the given drawing in the Naval Fighter is not exactly in 1/72 scale).

		The halves of the fuselage, wing, tail and drop tanks not only do not have locating pegs, but in the case of the wing, the interior surfaces are flat, making gluing a permanent fix on the first try.
		According to the Squadron Signal No. 103 "FJ Fury In Action", VMF-232 flew FJ-4's but the decals are enticing to this modeler.
		On the minus side, no ordnance is included and not all six pylons are provided even though on the underside of the wing there are marks as to where to put the pylons.

		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 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 squadron was redesignated VF-51 in 1949 and the Fury soon was replaced by the F9F-3 Panther.

		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.

	The Fury
		The last service version of North American's Fury was the FJ-4B, flown for the first time on 4 December 1956 and is an attack version otherwise similar to the FJ-4 (later the F-1E).
		North American built the first Fury, the FJ-1, as a straight-winged shipboard interceptor, and its swept-wing derivative became the Sabre.
		This page contains pictures of the FJ Fury, one of the aircraft flown by Squadron-235.

		The squadron returned to Hawaii in 1959, and the Fury was replaced by the Vought F8U-1 Crusader.
		This aircraft was the number 6 aircraft in the squadron, but the veterans of the squadron asked that we place number 3 on it, in honor of Capt. Lew Abrams who flew number 3 and was killed in Vietnam flying a Northrop Grumman A-6 Intruder.
		This is one of two existing Fury's, out of a total of 177 built.

	North American FJ-4B Fury by Brett Green (Grand Phoenix 1/48)
		There is no doubt that Grand Phoenix's Fury is beautiful to behold in the box, with its smooth plastic and fine resin detail.
		I noted that some photos of Furies show that the gun troughs are painted a dark colour.
		However, if you approach the Fury with the expectation that it is a limited run, multi-media kit that will involve extra time for the preparation and test fitting of parts, you will more than likely enjoy the experience of working through this model as much as I did.

	Grand Phoenix 1/48 FJ-4B Fury
		The FJ-4 Fury was the last of a line of naval fighters developed by North American Aviation from their F-86 Sabre land-based fighter.
		As early as 1953, North American had brought the NA-208 to the Navy as "the ultimate Fury." This was a complete redesign of the Fury, that left the resulting FJ-4 with almost nothing in common with the FJ-3 or the F-86 other than a general planform.
		In 1957, the Fury was the first Navy attack aircraft to fire the Bullpup air-to-ground radar-guided missile.

		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.

	FJ-23 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This FJ was photographed over Cape Hatteras, NC, in mid-'57, during FJ-3M Fury division tactics training to perfect high altitude "Fluid Four" maneuvering and section mutual protection, while using newly acquired "Sidewinders" (hence the FJ-3M).
		The Fury has a unique place in history, as we transitioned from "guns only", to "guns and missiles", in air-to-air combat.
		It provided many of the "lessons learned" and the tactics developed with the FJ were later used with such deadly effect by the F-8 "Gunfighters." Both of these happenings had significant impact in keeping Marine Aviation in the fighter game, when many advocated that we get out of the game, period!

		This version of the "Fury" was the FJ-3, the first of this sub-type flying in July 1953.
		The first of this version of the "Fury", able to carry six "Sidewinder" air to air missiles, or five "Bullpup" air to surface missiles, flew in December 1956.

		The first landing of a Fury on an actual carrier took place on March 16, 1948, when Commander Pete Aurand, CO of VF-5A, landed aboard the USS Boxer.
		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.

	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.

		One US Navy squadron was equipped with the Fury for about a year, with the aircraft passed on to reserve duty for transition training in 1949.
		The new aircraft had an air intake in the nose, straddled by three 12.7-millimeter 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, and gave the impression of a flying shark.

	Fj-4B Fury Review by Fotios Rouch (Collect-Aire 1/48)
		It was the last development of the Fury line.
		It should be noted that both kit contents were of equal quality and precision, some thing that I cannot say with some of the older Collect-Aire kits of the past.
		This is why I am pleased that Collect-Aire withheld publishing the new scale plans until all the players have shown their interpretation of the grandest Fury of them all.

		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.

	FJ Fury
		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.

	F-86 Sabre
		Armed with six 50 caliber machine guns, the Sabre pilot had to be in visual contact with the enemy in order to attempt a shoot-down, thereby making it the last true 'dogfighter' in the Air Force inventory.
		Surely the F-86 must be ranked, along with its illustrious World War 11 ancestor the P-51 Mustang, as one of the great fighter aircraft of all time.
		The F-86 Sabre was originally designed for the US Navy in 1945 as a straight-winged jet fighter, and was derived from the XJ Fury.
