1/48 Douglas F4D-1 Skyray by Tamiya 61055-400

The Douglas F4D-1 Skyray stands out as the U.S. Navys only delta-wing interceptor, captured here in 1/48 scale by Tamiya. Drawing on postwar aeronautical advances, the Skyray recorded notable speed achievements in the early 1950s and went into service in 1956, though it did not see combat. This kit recreates the jets key traits, such as the sharply swept 50-degree wing and the carrier-oriented folding arrangement.

Is this kit suitable for a first time builder?

The kit is best suited to someone with basic modelling experience. It requires careful assembly and painting to achieve a clean metallic finish, so beginners may need time or guidance from more experienced builders.

Are decals included and how delicate are they?

Standard decal sheets are typically supplied with Tamiya aircraft kits. Handle decals with care, use decal setting solution if available, and allow a good coat of clear varnish to protect them after application.

Can I pose the Skyray with landing gear down?

Yes, the model supports standard display options including landing gear down. Plan the build sequence so gear and doors are fitted cleanly before final painting and weathering.
