Hobby Boss 80312 FJ-4 Fury - Naval Fighter in Scale

The FJ-4 Fury is considered a peak example in the F-86 Sabre and Fury line, recognised for its distinctive profile and flight envelope. Originating in June 1953 from project NA-208 and entering production as NA-209, the aircraft was built to meet Navy performance goals including speeds approaching Mach 0.95 and operational ceilings near 49,000 feet without afterburner aid.
