Description
The only aircraft in WWII to receive an official military citation. This highly collectible 1:48 scale diecast model by Hobby Master (HA8207) replicates the legendary Vought F4U-1A Corsair "White 122," better known as "Ole 122," operating with USMC squadron VMF-111 "Devil Dogs" in the Gilbert Islands during September 1944. This remarkable airframe achieved a legendary status of mechanical perfection, flying 100 combat missions, logging over 400 hours, and covering 80,000 miles without ever requiring an engine change or turning back due to a mechanical issue—a feat so astonishing it was featured in Robert Ripley’s "Believe It Or Not." Finished in an authentic three-tone Pacific camouflage scheme, the fuselage is proudly adorned with its massive tally of 100 bomb mission markings.
Ideal for curators of Pacific Theatre operations and Marine Corps history, this Air Power Series release serves as a definitive historical artifact of an unparalleled maintenance milestone. The large 1:48 scale model is engineered for exceptional accuracy, featuring positional folding wings for flight or parked display, an opening cockpit canopy, and a detailed pilot figure. Please note that this specific release uniquely features wing-flaps that are permanently molded in the extended landing/parked position. This premium diecast metal model offers a sophisticated display presence for collectors prioritizing provenance and mechanical milestones, making it a premier acquisition for any gallery dedicated to pioneer aerospace engineering and the VMF-111 legacy.

Our grading is based mainly on the physical condition of the model itself, including paintwork, attached parts, repairs, visible wear and overall presentation. Box condition and missing separate accessories are noted separately where applicable.
Mint (10/10)
- As new, with no visible flaws to the model itself.
Near Mint (9/10)
- Very light signs of handling, storage or display only.
Excellent (8/10)
- Light wear or a few tiny marks, but still displays very well.
Very Good (7/10)
- Noticeable wear, small chips or rubs, but still presentable as a display piece.
Good (6/10)
- Obvious overall wear, visible marks or paint loss; better suited as a display or filler piece.
Fair (5/10)
- Heavy wear, larger areas of paint loss, repairs or clearly visible flaws.
Spares / Repairs (4/10 or below)
- Significant damage, missing attached parts, broken components or best suited for restoration/spares.
