Or parts from the other Matchbox kit, or the two Grand Phoenix puppies. Still no good FJ-4.

Mighty nice rebuild, Stik!

I am starting conversations with around 2 and Revell about getting significant chunks of parts to re-do a couple of doomed kits.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Didn’t Hobbyboss or Kitty Hawk do some FJs, including the -4?

Right, Carlos. I plead mind fade. Anyone want a couple Grand Phoenix FJ-4's?

Here's my Matchbox FJ-4 before the great collapse.

I have that kit in my stash John. It looks like a Fury to me the way that you built it up :wink:
