               This is a 1/72 F4D-1 Skyray Airplane from Tamiya.

     Nicknamed the "Ford," the Skyray was developed based on research by Dr.
Alexander Lippisch during WWII and is the Navy's only operational delta wing
interceptor to date. Over the course of its development and service life
during the 1950s, the F4D-1 set several speed records but never saw combat.
Its proposed successor, the F5D, was never produced.
