Detailed Review of the Hobby Boss 1/48 F3H-2M Demon Kit

The Hobby Boss 1/48 F3H-2M Demon captures the appearance of the US Navy interceptor from the late 1950s and early 1960s. As a missile-armed fighter of its era, the F3H-2M has a characteristic form that the model replicates for enthusiasts of Cold War aviation.

Modelling Considerations and Presentation

The kit presents finely moulded components that benefit from careful handling and precise assembly to achieve the best lines. Once built and painted, the model makes a convincing display item for shelves or themed exhibits concentrating on postwar jets.

Prototype Background and Detail Level

The operational Demon was powered by the Westinghouse J40 and was capable of carrying air-to-air missiles. This kit focuses on accurate external replication; it does not include operational systems or live ordnance.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for authentic finish
  • Part Count: High detail with numerous parts
A sharp hobby knife, fine sanding sticks, precision tweezers and a reliable adhesive will improve part fit and reduce the need for heavy filler.
The box provides decals for authentic markings; if you need additional markings or details, aftermarket decals and photo-etched sets are available from third parties.
Leave canopies attached to sprues while painting frames, use low-tack masking tape and attach canopies only after the main paintwork has cured to avoid smudging or warping.
