F4U Corsair VMF-214 • The plane that carried Pappy Boyington and the Black Sheep Squadron to victory after victory! • The most awesome Allied fighter plane in the Pacific! • Engineered in dramatic 1:48 scale. • Includes detailed undercarriage, cockpit and underside of the famed bent wings. • Hand-assembled in true-to-life detail. • Intricately hand-painted and decorated. • Own a replica of the last propeller-driven fighter plane built by the U.S. It was a marriage made in combat heaven: The most celebrated flyer of WWII...the most awesome fighter squadron in the Pacific...and the legendary zero-killer. Assigned to pull together a squadron -- VMF-214 -- to fly combat missions in the Solomon Islands, Marine Major Gregory "Pappy" Boyington gathered a group of 27 pilots, and after just a few weeks of training in the F4U Corsair they flew their first mission. While the Corsair was not as maneuverable as the Japanese zeros, it had the advantage of speed, durability and climbing rate. The Franklin Mint has captured every detail of this celebrated zero-killer in 1:48 scale, including the undercarriage, cockpit and underside of the famed bent wings. A powerful showpiece -- the best Allied fighter plane in the Pacific campaign -- to add to your collection! A. The last propeller-driven fighter plane built by the U.S. B. Historically precise in magnificent 1:48 scale. C. Some called it "U-Bird" because of its folded wings.
