Navy Blue post war aircraft in 1/100 scale

I want to start off by saying at first the 1/100 scale "craze" did not sound like too much fun. I started with Bruno's FJ-1 Fury. Not that spectacular of an aircraft but it did help bring the post war navy into the jet age. I had to build it 3x in order to get it right. I thought it had a completely round fuselage which didn't allow the wings to line up right. the 2nd time it was right but the colors seemed a little off. Post war navy Blue is dark, almost a grape color to it. So I found a blue that my old printer gives a good representation of Nav Blue. A key to Bruno's models is to look up on the web a good 3 view drawing. this gives a good idea of the fuselage shapes and helps with those "odd pieces" that you can't quite place. I changes the tail piece a little so it didn't look so bulky below the rudder and above the exhaust. the only added details were the tail hook and a few knuckle joints on the landing gear and the tires.
