FJ-3 Fury - any plastic or resin kits of this?
Does anyone know of an FJ-3 Fury kit being produced in plastic or resin (not 3D printed). If there is/was, can details and perhaps a box-art be posted here please? I have checked Scalemates but couldn't find anything but I would have thought a kit should have been produced of this.
Thanks
Mike

I dont think so. I want some too
no easy task to convert an F-86 either.
even the early trial horses were visibly different

Triplenuts produced one but 3D printed, albeit with resin canopy and decals for different options. Otherwise there was Click2Detail, now defunct, also 3D printed.
No plastic or resin kits that I’m aware of.

Is it really that difficult to convert a Sabre? I thought they were pretty similar.

I think it is quite different in this way....different front end, I think different undercarriage, arrester hook, catapult assist points... 4x M2? M3? cannon?

I've looked into it. Although the look alike, they're not. Not by a long shot. I'd have to dig up the references, but a conversion will require major (and I mean MAJOR) surgery.

Different (folding) wing as well as all the rest mentioned above.

I looked at both planes. There are many differences. The main features are likely to be the cockpit canopy and the rump back. The rudder is also completely different. Rebuilding all of this would be hardcore.
