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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFact Sheet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hobby Master\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Air Power Series\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel code:\u003c\/strong\u003e HA8207\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAircraft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vought F4U-1A Corsair\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eName:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Ole 122\" \/ \"White 122\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnit:\u003c\/strong\u003e U.S. Marine Corps VMF-111 \"Devil Dogs\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gilbert Islands (Central Pacific)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate\/Period:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 1944\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:48\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diecast Metal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Permanently extended landing flaps; folding wings; 100-mission mission log nose art\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eModel Dimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.25\" or 21 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWingspan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\" or 25.4 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eCondition\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Condition - Near Mint (9\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA couple of paint bubbles on the underside of the fuselage along with some light wear on the fuselage flaps (marks).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox condition - Excellent (8\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinor wear to edges and corners but structurally sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhotographed under studio lighting to highlight even the smallest imperfections.
