1/48 Douglas F4D-1 Skyray

[pourquoi61]

The Douglas F4D Skyray (later redesignated F-6 Skyray) was an American carrier-based fighter/interceptor built by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Although it was in service for a relatively short time and never entered combat, it was the first carrier-launched aircraft to hold the world's absolute speed record, at 752.943 mph and was the first United States Navy and United States Marine Corps fighter that could exceed Mach 1 in level flight. It was the last fighter produced by the Douglas Aircraft Company before it merged with McDonnell Aircraft and became McDonnell Douglas.

As I said at the start of this build this aircraft never saw action.
I have tried to portray it as if the aircraft has just returned from a sortie minus rockets and bombs.
Hope you like it and thanks for looking.
Enjoy your plastic therapy whatever you are building.
