I agree, I started that thread, but floats on a spit just don't do it for me. I wouldn't classify it for the butt-ugly thread, but the lines get messed up with floats.
id say the best modern looking plane would be the Tomcat, its probually one of the best fighters in the world as well, big, fast and deadly. But for ww2 id have to say the spitfire and P51h
The best looking modern plane would have to be the SR-71. The best looking from WW2 would have to be the Bf109, Ho229 or the Me410; the best looking twin engine plane ever built IMO
