Short historical description:
The Douglas F4D-1 Skyray is a legendary carrier-based interceptor designed in the 1950s for the US Navy. It was widely used during the Cold War era (1956–1964), excelling in records for altitude and rate of climb. The F4D-1 Skyray featured a distinctive delta "flying wing" layout and innovative aerodynamic solutions. It served mainly in squadrons stationed both on Pacific aircraft carriers and on coastal bases—providing air cover and intercepting potential threats during the tense years of the Cold War.

The product is recommended both for experienced modelers and intermediate users wishing to improve their models with basic resin-working skills. Assembly difficulty – 2/5.

Why choose the RESKIT set?
