Funny, in the box for the MkII they gave you the decal option for the box art of the MkIII.... 

 

They've pre-empted themselves! JS636 is a MkIII.

Well, it's there again. Only now you need both kits, to get the 3 bladed prop.

4 blades for Corsair III ?????????????

 

Corsair III is a F3A-1D  with the large 3 blade propeler the 4 blade apers with the F4U-4

How can they get it so wrong when they’ve already boxed a MkII with a three blader?

 

Perhaps it will just be an error in the instructions as it should be an identical kit.

Guys, looks like they reboxed their F4U-4 as the Mk.III.  Not exactly sure why but even Scalemates shows it inline from their -4 kit with new parts (clipped wingtips).

You are right, the box contains the wrong kit, it's an F4U-4 ! :(

This is not the first time they have boxed the wrong parts in one of their Corsair kits.
