Douglas F4D-1 Skyray: A Historical Aviation Marvel in 1/48 Scale

The Douglas F4D-1 Skyray is renowned for being the only delta-winged interceptor ever operated by the U.S. Navy. This 1/48 scale model by Tamiya captures the aircraft's distinctive design and historical importance. Developed post-World War II, the Skyray was built upon advanced aeronautical research captured from Germany. It set world speed records in the early 1950s and became operational in 1956, although it never saw combat. The model reflects the aircraft's unique features, including its 50-degree sweptback wings and innovative folding mechanism for carrier storage.
