Not that it adds anything to this discussion, but I have to say that the title for the most accurate/authentic Corsair flying today must be now the Paul Allen/FHCAM Corsair. It's the only one I know of that is said to still have the correct/original WWII-era engine and supercharger setup, and even the paint on it is lacquer-based, per original, with the distinct look of the original overall glossy sea blue finish and non-specular sea blue anti-glare (and it doesn't have all the fasteners "blinged-out" either).
