Ah, a bevy of bent winged birds

Boy that Latin looking ground crew guy sure gets around!

That late model Gull Gray and White one sure looks beefier than the rest... which kit and variant is that? If I have to pick a favorite, the French Suez build has to be it

What a variety! I love the Corsair but am afraid to tackle one just yet. I like the non-US versions, since the US schemes are so often done.

Well it is said that color can have an effect upon appearance (does light gull gray make me look fat?)

And I do know that the late model F4Us were uparmored and had heavier & stronger engine and airframes as well.... Perhaps it's a combination of all of the above?
