Best looking WW2 fighter

[markstuk]

Slightly light hearted, but having just completed a model of a FW190D (Hobbycraft 1:48) it sticks out - even more so than my previous favourite the Spit FR14... What is yours?

 

[tomo pauk]

Spitfire.

 

[Snautzer01]

LWS-6/PZL-30 Zubr

 

[vikingBerserker]

Ah yes, the graceful and elegant PZL-30 that bested the Lagg-5 in dogfights.......

LWS-6/PZL-30 Zubr

Gardening up front, war in the back

Gardening up front, war in the back

No lie there pard.

 

[michael rauls]

For appearance alone( and there all great planes to imho) top 3 in order would be Spitfire IX, Mustang(D), and P40L.

 

[pbehn]

Anything French except a Dewotine which looks far too much like a real aeroplane for my tastes.

 

[Peter Gunn]

I'll bite, my choices today:

1. P-51 B/C with tail fillet with/without Malcomb hood (What? You expected me to say something else)
2. Any Bf-109
3. Macchi C.205 Veltro
4. Later marque Spitfires (IX and later)
5. P-39 Iron Dog
6. Reggiane Re.2005 Sagittario
7. Early P-38 with that(those) sleek chin(s)
8a. A6M Zeke/Zero*
8b. Kawasaki Ki-61 "Tony"*
9. P-47N Thunderbolt
10. Fw-190D - much better looking that the radial models.

ALMOST FORGOT!!!

The immortal BUFFALO.

Yes the Pzl-30 scarred every opponent from the skies. With its mighty roaring 20hp engines blasting it through the blue skies. The ground bloody with the leftovers of its enemys. Hartmann himself requested a staffeln of this mighty beast, but the war had not started yet so he had to combat in his puny bf109G-10.

Found a picture. Is that rlm 33 ?

 

[Glider]

Fighter Spit IX - I think that Griffin versions lost their looks and the engine looked too large, The earlier versions the engine looked too small
Light bomber - Tie between the Boston III (I don't like the look of the turret) and the Mosquito.
Heavy Bomber - Lancaster
Transport - DC3 could it be anything else?

 

[swampyankee]

The one I'm flying, of course.

I knew we could count on you to find a snapshot for us!

Looks like one from 243 Squadron but I could be wrong.

While the Mustang is not even in my top 5 "favorite" airplanes of the war, I think P-51D was the best looking. ME262 in second place.

I bet you like those French Pre-Dreadnoughts too

 

[vikingBerserker]

I do!

 

[pbehn]

They are my favourite ships, I prefer French aircraft that had a piece of pipe holding the back to the front.

 

[Seawitch]

I would say the Nachtigal, the rare nightfighter version of the Arado 234.
