Does anyone have a source for photos of the two birdcage Corsairs that were used a proof of concept for the F2G? They were BuNo 2312 (F4U-1WM) and BuNo 02460 (F4U-WM). Thanks in advance!

Those are the only ones I had. I was hoping to find more, especially some that are larger with more detail.

This pic is labeled as a -2 or -4 corncob on an F2G:

But please compare it to this pic of the F4U-1(WM). Compare angle, sunlight, building backdrop angle. Whadda' ya' think?
