It just isnt right. Radials look so much better on bombers.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Mar 10, 2005

I completely agree.

but they tried the lanc with radials and she looks better with inlines........

cheddar cheese · Mar 10, 2005

No I dont agree. A good looking 4-engined bomber is as rare as a good French plane

but you like the looks of the B-29??

cheddar cheese · Mar 10, 2005

I missed the word "inlines" out of that sentence :lol:

sorry. I mean a good looking four engined bomber with inlines 8)

The Lanc lookse good with inlines but the Hally and Stirling look just as good

I think the B-29 was one of the better looking bombers. She had a sleek quality well as sleek as a large 4 engine bomber can be.

I think it was the best looking 4 engined bomber, bar none.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Mar 11, 2005

I am fan of the B-17 when it comes to looks but yeah the 29 was a damn good looking aircraft.

cheddar cheese · Mar 11, 2005

Yeah the B-17 was also a beauty.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Mar 12, 2005

I especially the ealier models like the F before they became overloaded with chin turrets and other protruding objects.

cheddar cheese · Mar 12, 2005

I like the additional turrets, the extra guns make it look meaner.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Mar 12, 2005

I dont know I like the more refined, sleeker, airplane look.

cheddar cheese · Mar 12, 2005

I like both, although I do prefer the sleeker cleaner lines.

DerAdlerIstGelandet · Mar 12, 2005

I know they kind of defeat the purpose of a war bird but as a airplane enthusiast and some one that flys I like the cleaner looks.

mosquitoman · Mar 12, 2005

The best looking 4 engined bomber has to be the Hally MkIII, the nose fairing and clean lines just give it the edge over the Lanc in looks

cheddar cheese · Mar 12, 2005

No, B-29 was far better looking! 8) As was the Stirling.

mosquitoman · Mar 12, 2005

Nah, the Halibag had much cleaner lines than the Stirling

cheddar cheese · Mar 12, 2005

The Stirling was a beauty. Dont like the Halifax much.
