The wings for F4U-4's can be varied as the initial run of -4's were almost modified F4U-1's. The easiest way to see this is the forward windsceen, some look like Dash ones others like the familiar dash five...The F4U-4 was hurried into production for WWII, and just missed it. In any case the outer panels are basicly the same and other than rocket racks, an early wing from either an FG-1 or an F4U-1 will bolt to the -4,-5 airplane. I believe the Dash 7 and AU-1 wings are slightly different. Now of course the dash 5 carry 20 mm cannons, other than the 6 50's..Along with some dash 4's.
