Inspecting the Hobby Boss 1/48 F3H-2M Demon Kit

The Hobby Boss 1/48 F3H-2M Demon kit models the distinctive naval fighter that operated in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Noted for carrying air-to-air missiles as an interceptor, the real aircraft's lines and proportions are well represented in this scale kit.

Assembly Experience and Finished Look

Expect a build that rewards precision: the kit's parts are crisply moulded but call for careful trimming and trial assembly. Finished models display well and complement collections focused on postwar military aviation.

Authenticity and Prototype Background

The operational Demon used a Westinghouse J40 engine and was equipped to carry missiles. The kit recreates the external appearance rather than functional elements, giving builders an accurate visual representation of the type.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for authentic finish
  • Part Count: High detail with numerous parts
Build time varies with skill level; plan for several weekends to clean, test-fit and paint parts carefully for a high quality finish.
Aftermarket detail sets can enhance cockpit and ordnance areas but are optional; many builders achieve excellent results using the box parts with careful painting.
Prime first, then use thin coats of enamel or acrylic in period colours; finish with clear coats before decals and a final matt or satin varnish to seal the model.
