Grumman F8F Bearcat examples I have had the good fortune to photograph in person. The airworthy Bearcat at the Palm Springs Air Museum is actually a G-58 Gulfhawk, one of two civilain-built versions of the F8F Bearcat. The Gulfhawk in Palm Springs is the G-58B, and the G-58A is based at the Planes of Fame museum in Chino.
