Here is the second new sheet for the Grand Phoenix or Matchbox 1/48 FJ-4 Fury. As with the the first sheet,  you are provided with full insignia and some data markings to allow you to build both options so stock up on those kits! only one of the fin leading edge decals is provided, but most of us would rather paint that section anyway. Both options are in light gull grey over white.

First up is a VMF-451 aircraft as based at Atsugi, Japan in 1955. Leading edges of the flight surfaces are in unpainted metal.

Next is a colorful Fury of the Fleet Air Gunnery Unit (FAGU), which I believe was at Yuma or El Centro. Note that both have black gun radar fairings on the upper nose.

Another fine sheet to provide some more options for your next FJ-4 kit.
