About the Douglas F4D-1 Skyray

Developed by Douglas from postwar research into delta-wing aircraft, the Skyray first flew in 1951. Its prototypes set speed records, and the production F4D-1 entered U.S. Navy squadron service in 1956. The aircraft is remembered for its unusual wing shape and high-speed interceptor role.

Modeling subject

The Skyray is a strong choice for a compact 1/72 U.S. Navy aircraft display. The carrier-focused design, folding outer wings, and clean delta profile give the finished model recognizable features without relying on decorative styling.
