Tamiya 61055-400 1/48 Douglas F4D-1 Skyray Scale Model  [61055-400]

Douglas F4D-1 Skyray in 1/48 Scale by Tamiya

The Douglas F4D-1 Skyray holds a unique place in naval aviation as the only delta-wing interceptor fielded by the U.S. Navy. This Tamiya 1/48 representation captures the jets distinct geometry and historical context. Building on postwar aerodynamic advances, the Skyray set notable speed records in the early 1950s and became operational in 1956, though it did not see combat. The model reflects signature elements such as the 50-degree sweptback wings and the folding wing solution for carrier stowage.
