Tamiya’s F4U-1A Corsair is undoubtedly a must-have in both the stash and the glass case. Here’s Pappy Boyington's Corsair from 1943, when stationed in the Solomons Islands he took charge of the VMF-214; nicknamed Black Sheep. During his first tour with them, he shot down 14 Japanese aircraft in 32 days.
