You're all welcome, you now have that song stuck in your heads for the rest of the day like me.
Though I do see it's not the same squadron number on the fuselage. Can't help but think of that, seeing one of these.

This is a beautiful piece that has near-photorealistic quality to it.
The Voight Corsair is probably the weirdest-looking 'plane in the US Marines' WW2 inventory, with those sharply canted wings so that the pilot could actually see the deck whilst landing and taxiing! It is, IIRC, considered to have been the best US naval fighter of the war, better even than the Grumman Hellcat.

Also known as Whistling DeathΒ among the JapaneseΒ and the Ensign Eliminator among US Naval pilots due to the way it had to be carrier landed, which was not easy to the say the least.

Love the broken clouds and the pilot looking towards the airfield.Β Base leg on Runway 17.

Is it just me or is the front way too small?
π: 0 β©: 2
it might look like because of the cowl flaps are closed

No, iΒ΄m talking about literally the full front half of the plane being way too slim for that massive engine the engineers put on its nose.
This is like an anorexic cousin of the Corsair.

i dont know might be the angle the model is very very accurate of the FG1D Β corsair

Might actually be, many photos of the plane emphasize the front.
Due to that i might have a wrong impression in mind.
