Ah, a bevy of bent winged birds :wub: Boy that Latin looking ground crew guy sure gets around! :whistle: 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 :beau:

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?
