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.

We talk about them and their good looks a lot on this forum, but there's been only a little mention of these Italian beauties so far in this thread.

Macchi C.202

C.202 nose

Macchi C.205

And my favourite, Fiat G.55.

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.

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.
