The reason it looks Photoshopped into the shot or like it's an R/C plane is because everything else in the frame is in sort of a fuzzy "omnifocus," while it looks much sharper... which makes one think it's in focus because it's in the foreground.

I have no doubt that it's the real deal, however... if you took the shot, we should take your word for it.

There is definitely room for it to be in that position because that hangar in the background is obviously VERY large... and distant. Just look at where the rear wheels of that minivan are. It's at least 1/8th mile to that hangar.

One more thing since you've included these other shots, though; the Corsair in the contested photo doesn't look like it has the lighter paint on it's belly (based on the fact that the lighter color can't be seen on the lower/leading edge of the nacelle). Might be in shadow, but the plane looks like it's solid blue all over.
