Hobby Boss Fury

How did this one slip by with nobody commenting on it? It looks pretty good from what I can see. But, I'd like to see more. Plus, what is it? Your title calls it a "Hobby Boss Fury." It looks a bit like a F-86 Sabre. Yet something tells me it's not a Sabre.  

Please give us more photos and information. You might then get more responses to your posting. As I said, it does look nice. From what I can see.

It's a Sabre descendant/offshoot, though probably nothing interchangeable by that point in their evolution. 

Nice model. I have the old Matchbox kit of this airplane, but haven't yet seen a Hobby Boss.

Thanks Snake. You clued me in on what to look for. From looking at ridge on top of the fuselage, going from the cockpit to the tail, it must be a North American FJ-4 Fury? The Sabres and other FJ(-2/3) Furys do not seem to this spine/ridge on the back of the plane?

The Fury was the Navy/Marine version of the North American F-86 Sabre Jet. Came in 4 models FJ-1 through FJ-4.

You've got that point right! This is a truly good looking build.

Very nice build; agree with others that we need to see more pics! How was your experience with Hobby Boss as far as fit, accuracy, etc? They seem to be all over the map in those respects, with some kits being great and some just a-swing-and-a-miss. The canopy looks a bit small, but that could be photographic perspective issues. Any way, you did a fine job with her!

Here is a picture of the actual plane and a story of the unit it flew for. Great Build!!!!
