the first one is a special hobby F2G-1 corsair 1/72 scale...not a bad kit to build with reasonable detail.
the markings are for the first production F2G-1 built that still survives in the Museum of flight in Seattle.

the second kit is a Tamiya F4U1-D the was started by another now gone modeler,it has a PE instrument panel and front part of cockpit plus seatbelts...it's a lovely kit to build.
the markings are for Marines sqn VMF 112 operating of the carrier USS Bennington
