Nice! Maybe you can take photos of each separately so we could see them better?

Really gorgeous.

I'm still slogging through the F-86. Two steps forward, one step back. Got the cockpit tub done but then I found I will have to build up the area in the fuselage to hold it. Same for the nose intake duct. Put the reinforcement strips on the fuselage "seams" but I have to make some transverse bulkheads to try to keep the shape. Debating on making landing gear bays (and landing gear) or just make it an "in-flight" model with the doors closed up.

1/48? Beautiful. Is that an FJ-4?

The Fury is a pretty good example of how/why adapting and Air Force plane for carrier operations isn't always that great of an idea. FJ-4 was a pretty good plane but it's got so many changes it is basically a whole new plane.
