It's a delightful profile.
I think it's of an F4U-5 or AU-1 of the German contingent fighting in China as part of UN Forces in 1954.
The colour scheme is based on the USN/USMC Light Gull Grey/White, overpainted with either RLM81 or locally produced brown of a similar shade, and full Luftwaffe markings.
The German contingent in China, known as The Peking Duck Legion, also flew Tigercats and F-84Gs, as well as F-86 Sabres.
