1/48 D-558-1 Skystreak
Special Hobby's 1/48 scale D-558-1 Skystreak is an American experimental jet aircraft developed in the late 1940s for high-speed flight testing. It was part of a United States Navy research program and played a key role in collecting aerodynamic data for future supersonic aircraft. The model features a detailed cockpit, landing gear section and accurately executed fuselage panels. The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
Special Hobby's 1/48 scale D-558-1 Skystreak depicts the experimental jet aircraft developed by Douglas Aircraft Company for the US Navy. The machine was designed to test aerodynamics at high speeds and was instrumental in the development of advanced jet aircraft in the 1940s and 1950s.
The first flight of the D-558-1 took place in 1947, and the aircraft was powered by a jet engine and achieved record speeds at the time. Machines of this type were used for scientific experiments and contributed to the further development of high-speed aviation during the transition to supersonic aircraft.
The model features a detailed cockpit, accurate fuselage paneling and realistic landing gear components. The faithful execution makes it an ideal choice for modelers interested in experimental aviation and Cold War research aircraft.
The package does not include the paint or adhesives needed for assembly.
