Furball Aero Design has sent information about their newest releases, available now from their website:

Hello again Furball Fanatics! It’s been a little while, but we are back with our first new releases of 2021. For this release round, we have 5 new sets and 2 reprints of previously sold-out sets. Let’s get right to it:

First up we have “USMC Jump Jets” (48-073). This set has options for 10 AV-8/C Harrier jets in 1/48 scale. Enough stencils are included to build 2 complete models. Although sized to fit the new Kinetic kit, this set should work with the venerable Monogram kit as well. Here are the options covered:

  • -VMA-231, AV-8A 159240, NM-601, USS F.D. ROOSEVELT, 1976

  • -VMA-231 DET A, AV-8A 159258, CG-4, MCAS CHERRY POINT 1977

Next up is (48-075) “F/A-18E,F,G Cockpit Detail Set”. This set is sized to work with specifically with the 1/48 Hasegawa series of kits. This set has decals to enhance the cockpit parts and alleviate the tedious task of detail painting. Decals for the instrument panels, display screens (in various configurations), and ejection seats are included. Enough decals are contained to build 2 complete cockpits.
