Hi

Thats not an F4U4! Its an F4U5 or F4U7, it clearly has the twin cheek cowl intakes of the 5s and 7s , rather than the 4s single lower cowl intake.

thanks GRUNHERZ

It's a F4U-5, they were the only model with the dual intakes(at 4 and 8 o'clock) on the cowling.

The F4U-7(94 of them) was built for the French Navy, they were based on the AU-1(F4U-6) airframe but had the same engine and cowling with the single chin intake as on the F4U-4.

Actually Juzz, that is an F4U-4 airframe. It's kinda a crossbreed tho. One of the fortunes of restoration. Looked this particular F4U over many-a-time in Galveston.

And to you hispano dweebs, you can have this one because those are just four pieces of pipe used to simulate the M5's

Btw thats at Scholes Field, Galveston, and Sonnva-squeak-second-class's tail to the right  

And the old guy staring at the guns, why, he's a 190 driver, cursing the those evil guns
