321BAR will be here shortly. And I'm not sure but I think the F4U found itself on the deck and is running for it's life. Just a guess though.

Yea, the owner built this.  It's fabricated from a T-6, P-51 gear, and some other oddities.  He actually fabricated the tail using a model Zero and used a light to project it onto a wall so they could trace the outline on the metal.  :aok

Pretty cool story behind this bird.
