Not often that one sees aftermarket sheets for limited run kits, but here is one for the Grand Phoenix 1/48 FJ-4 Fury. Should you have the elderly Matchbox kit, I'm sure these will fit that as well. Both of these planes are in the light gull grey over white scheme and both are from the mid-late 1950s.

First up is the CAG bird from VA-214 with a very colorful tail marking. Eagle Strike includes the bare metal fin leading edge with this marking and you will need to match that on the leading edge of the wings.

The other is from VMA-223. This aircraft has red leading edges to the main wing and decals are provided for that purpose should you decide you don't want to paint them.

The sheet provides full insignia and some data markings to allow you to build both options so stock up on those kits!
