the first one is a special hobby F2G-1 corsair 1/72 scale...not a bad kit to build with reasonable detail.
the markings are for the first production F2G-1 built that still survives in the Museum of flight in Seattle.

the markings are for Marines sqn VMF 112 operating of the carrier USS Bennington

Nice collection Paul, all look great

[Wedgetail]

Very nice Paul, certainly much cleaner than my own grubby F4U efforts.

Beautiful work Paul. I really like how you can do multiple builds to a theme at once.
