The Tamiya 1/72 Douglas F4D-1 Skyray (60741) reproduces one of the most distinctive jet fighters of the early Cold War era — the tail-less delta-winged Skyray that set multiple world speed and climb records in 1953 and served the US Navy as an interceptor. The F4D-1's unusual pure delta configuration, massive engine, and absence of a conventional tail gave it extraordinary rate of climb for the era — essential for intercepting Soviet bombers at high altitude.
An unusual and striking subject — the dramatic Skyray in compact 1/72 scale.
