The Douglas Skyray and its place in naval aviation

Known later as the F-6 Skyray, the Douglas F4D-1 was a notable carrier fighter from the Cold War era produced by Douglas Aircraft Company. It once held an absolute speed record of 752.943 mph and became the first US Navy and Marine Corps fighter to break Mach 1 in level flight. The Skyray is also notable as the last fighter design by Douglas before the merger that formed McDonnell Douglas.

The Tamiya 1/72 kit gives hobbyists finely detailed components to recreate the Skyray profile accurately. The Tamiya 60741 - 1/72 Douglas F4D-1 Skyray Military Aircraft Model Kit is ideal for builders who prioritise scale accuracy and crisp surface features in a small footprint model.

Construction notes and display appeal

Parts are designed for precise fit, but careful sanding and painting will improve realism. The model makes a neat display for a shelf or diorama, showcasing the Skyray delta wing and compact silhouette once fully finished.
