Best looking WW2 fighter

[GrauGeist]

The F7F looks like a stiletto...

And it's performance proves form follows function.

From the French, best looking fighter IMO....Arsenal VG-33

This scratch-built model is amazing in its own right.

Wow just wow. I wish I had the time, the money, the space, the skills, the skills and the skills.

WOW! A little more effort and he could have had a 1/1 size plane

Thumbs up just for using the term badassery.

Thank you! =)

Heyyy! Like Tyrodtom says, no flat chest there, buddy, and what's wrong with a big rear end?

LOL!...I used to know one of those guys.

My vote for best looking twin goes to the Tigercat (F7F), it just flips all my switches.

If it's best looking twin, for me its got to be the p38. Closely followed by the Mosquito but then I guess the Mosquito is not really a fighter strictly speaking but they made fighter versions.

In a thread where we're polled for best looking twin engine fighter, F7F.
If the question is best looking propeller-driven fighter, P-51
Best looking WWII fighter, P-80.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

P-80?

Nah...

 

[michael rauls]

If were talking best looking jet fighter I think the 262 walks away with it. Imho.

I agree. It had its faults but it was a pretty aircraft.

Somewhere I have pics of a P-80 that was based out of Itami in Japan.
My dad was there then and they actually kept the thing on display, behind ropes and armed guards, but anyone could walk up and look at it (take pictures even!)...just don't cross over the ropes.
He would say it play h3!! with the 51's that were there.
