En laat ik ook maar beginnen met wat info; schaamteloos gekopieerd van Wikipedia. En in het engels, dat dan weer wel.
The North American FJ-4 Fury was a swept-wing carrier-capable fighter-bomber for the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The final development in a lineage that included the Air Force's F-86 Sabre, the FJ-4 shared its general layout and engine with the earlier FJ-3, but featured an entirely new wing design and was a vastly different design in its final embodiment.
The FJ-4 was intended as an all-weather interceptor, a role that required considerable range on internal fuel.
A modified cockpit made the pilot more comfortable during the longer missions. The tail surfaces were also extensively modified and had a thinner profile. The overall changes resulted in an aircraft that had little in common with the earlier models, although a family resemblance was still present. The two prototypes had the same Wright J65-W-4 engine as the FJ-3, but production aircraft had the J65-W-16A of 7,700 lbf
The first FJ-4 flew on 28 October 1954 and delivery began in February 1955. Except for one squadron which trained Navy FJ-4B pilots, FJ-4s were used exclusively by the Marine Corps, which operated three squadrons.
The FJ-4B was that it was capable of carrying a nuclear weapon on the inboard port station. It was equipped with the LABS or Low-Altitude Bombing System for the delivery of nuclear weapons. The Navy was eager to maintain a nuclear role in its rivalry with the Air Force, and it equipped 10 squadrons with the FJ-4B. It was also flown by three Marine squadrons. In April 1956 the Navy ordered 151 more FJ-4Bs, bringing the production to a total of 152 FJ-4s and 222 FJ-4Bs.
Zo, na deze nuttige info, waar overigens geen vragen over gesteld zullen worden, nu over naar de kit!
Den doosch:
Nu deze bekend is, vlug naar de inhoud ervan!
Kijk eens aan, wat hebben we daar? Een bouwtekening! Altijd makkelijk!
En een viertal sproetjes, waarvan één met glaswerk:
Kaartje met plakkertjes:
En een mooie tekening waar ze horen en de kleuren die ik erop mag sproeien. En ik kan zelfs kiezen uit 2 toestellen! Niet erg handig, want ik kan nooit kiezen..slapeloze nachten liggen weer in het verschiet...

Nu het geheel maar even ontvetten, en dan begin ik 1 oktober..ofzo..misschien 3 of 4 oktober..
