Scale and Subject

This is a 1/72 scale diecast model of the Vought F4U-1A Corsair flown by Capt. Edwin Olander with VMF-214 Black Sheep Squadron at Vella Lavella in 1943. It is manufactured by Legion Supplies as a hobby collectible for adult enthusiasts of military aviation history.

Ready to Display

The model arrives in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging and requires no assembly. It includes a display stand for immediate presentation. The construction uses diecast metal with some plastic parts and features no openings, so panels and hatches remain fixed in place.

Collectors Seeking Accuracy

This replica suits buyers who want a highly detailed, true-to-scale representation of a specific historic aircraft with realistic panel lines and surface details. It is not intended for those who need functional moving parts, opening canopies or access panels, or models in larger scales for cockpit detailing.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the model is correctly assembled and finished after unboxing?

Check that the panel lines, antennas and access panels match the real aircraft, the diecast metal feels heavy, the 1/72 scale dimensions measure about 5.5 inches long with a 6.75-inch wingspan, and the VMF-214 Black Sheep markings are sharp and complete.

What comes in the box and is anything else needed for display?

The box contains the fully assembled diecast Corsair with plastic detail parts and a display stand; no glue, paint or extra hardware is required.

Which version of this Corsair should I choose for a VMF-214 Black Sheep collection?

This single release depicts Capt. Edwin Olander's "Marines Dream" F4U-1A as flown from Vella Lavella in 1943, so it is the only version needed for that squadron.
