S&P 1/100 N.A. FJ-3M Fury
I chose Bruno's VF-73 version of the Fury for the purely shallow and superficial reason that it has a pretty blue stripe along the fuselage. Unfortunately that same blue stripe could make or break the finished look of this model- if out of alignment AT ALL the whole thing would just look dumb. So I just made damn sure as I added each fuselage section that it was the stripe that matched above all else. One section at the front needed a bit of a gap on the bottom to work, but otherwise Bruno did a fine designing job and looks pretty good.
The nose intake gave the most grief; no reflection on Bruno though- just the very nature of shapes that I don't think any designer could have made easier to build. Getting it all to work wasn't helped by the bit of lead weight I glued behind the intake to make the model sit on it's nosewheel. I can't find any pics of the full size where the main gear doors are down when parked. Maybe like the P-51 the wheel doors droop slowly down after a while with hydraulic pressure bleed-off. Can anyone shed light on this? Anyway, if I do another version I'll fix 'em in the 'up' position. Hope you like.

Well you beat the bugaboo stripe, the nose looks okay from here and your model is neat, clean and free of glue spots. You did a great job Garry.

It may not be an F-100 but it is still a Super Sabre.

You need to show these next to a chilling, or a six pence or a bob or whateva you people down there do so we can see the size. Or do they not trust you with money?
