Valom is known for realistic models, perfect for demanding modelers seeking faithful reproduction of both exterior details and interior elements.

The original FJ-1 Fury was designed in the United States just after World War II and was primarily used by the US Navy during the Cold War, in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The aircraft entered service in 1947 and was the first American jet to operate from aircraft carriers. The first units were assigned to VF-51 Squadron, where innovative methods for using jets at sea were tested and developed. The Fury was mainly used for training and carrier operation trials, and its design became the basis for the later, famous F-86 Sabre.
