These pics were taken recently at a shop in Northern California that, apparently, is trying to corner the Corsair market . . .
first up is (tangetially) a composite (co-ro-lite 1100) 175 gallon tank from Columbia Rope in original paint. Note the vertical seam, all pics I've seen have the horizontal seam - wonder if those are metal ones.
(yep, that's a Corsair aft fuselage in the background)
Next we have spare prop blade kits (not sure if they were available as part of a master kit with the groundloop kit) stenciled for both F4U and F6F. These would have been the source for F4Us going from the bat handled blades to the paddles (whice were each 1.5 inches shorter). The . . . owner had about a dozen of these and has sold most (used on P-47s and fourblade Corsairs also).
Also, new WW2 tires.
