Ok, some of those are Tiger Mouths IIRC

I have to agree, the P-40 and Typhoon look great with them. The Cargo craft look a little odd IMHO

Here;s another one that I've drawn. It's a late mark Spitfire captured by the Germans and fitted with a Jumo 214 engine. (This is fictional, please don't flame me for drawing an Allied aircraft in German markings)

I think it's a Constelation if I'm not mistaken David, I'm not sure of the military name for it though.

And in the next picture the same Hurricane in American markings. There has to be a pretty interesting story behind that!

It was a RAF Hurricane, I'm guessing captured by the Luftwaffe in either North Africa or Italy, then re-captured by the USAAF. So it's possibly had RAF roundels (as seen part overpainted under the wings), Luftwaffe black crosses, and then US 'Stars and Bars'!!
Now there's one for the "Aircraft in Foreign Service" GB !
The Luftwaffe aircraft in the background looks like it might be a captured P47 'Razorback'.

Actually that is a He111 in the background T. And you guys are still not looking closely enough at the Hurricane! There is something very different about it.

I like the canon with the mouth. Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase, "Never look a gift horse in the mouth".

But is it a "Sharkmouth" or a "Tigermouth"?
