Sword FJ-3M Fury
History : "VF-84, initially known as the Vagabonds, was established on July 1, 1955, at NAS Oceana flying the FJ-3 Fury. After deactivation of VF-61 in 1959, VF-84's commanding officer, formerly with VF-61, requested to change his squadron's name and insignia to that of the Jolly Rogers. His request was approved on April 1, 1960. The squadron embarked on the USS Forestall (CVA-59) with CVG-1 in 1957." (Ref 1) This model depicts an aircraft of that deployment. The Sword kit of the FJ-3M Fury is a limited-run kit, so some modeling experience is a must to finish this kit. It's a challenging build. Stipulating that, this kit has quite a bit going for it: finely engraved panel lines, accurate shape and a detailed cockpit. If you want a 1/72 scale Fury, this is pretty much the only injection kit available. Except for the AIM-9B Sidewinder missile from the Monogram F-4C/D kit, this Fury was built straight out of the box. CALL THE BALL! RJ References: 1. Seaforces on
