Fisher Models F4D-1 Skyray 1/32 is almost here
Fisher Model & Pattern from the USA have shown off more pictures of their resin 1/32 F4D-1 Skyray – one of the earlier fighters the at served with the US Navy, then the Marines in the fifties and early sixties. This early interceptor was a record breaker and well regarded interceptor until more capable ( but not anymore beautiful) fighters of the sixties took it's crown. Now we have pictures of the completed kit - due in the next month or so this is looking like a stunning kit to add to your stash - or your diplay shelf if you actually like to build models!

I have long loved the angular shape of the Delta Dagger –
the sleek lines and internal missile bays were just so cool and the sharp nose
and sharper canopy just ooze 60’s sex appeal (if that can be attributed to a
jet?) Now in 1/72 Meng show us their new kit that captures the lines of this
cold war interceptor very well – let’s look at the Daggers they have made in
our preview…

On Display vol.2: StuG III from Canfora Publishing preview
