Spitfires or 5 Series Italian fighters (More beautiful)

[DAVIDICUS]

Between any wartime Spitfire and any Series 5 Italian fighter (Reggiane RE 2005 Sagittario, Macchi MC 205 Veltro, Fiat G 55 Centauro), which was the more beautiful?

 

[Jank]

I'm a loyal spit fan. Those Italian planes have nice lines.

I vote spitfire.

[red admiral]

Macchi MC.205 beats all.

 

[Nonskimmer]

Hmmm, tough one.

Later mark Spitfires. Say from about the Mk. VIII or IX onward.

 

[Gnomey]

Spitfire definitely

 

[JCS]

Re.2005. The Spitfire doesnt even come close to any of the Series 5 in looks

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

but the spitfire is, just possibly, the best looking machine ever............

 

[mosquitoman]

The 5 series looks good, but the Spitfire looks better, I can't think of a more beautiful single engined plane

 

[red admiral]

The MC.205 is far better looking than the spitfire. THe inverted vee engine just looks great.

but that nose is ugly.........

personally i actually feel sorry for the people that truely believe the series 5 are better looking..........

 

[DAVIDICUS]

Hey, its an Italian nose. Beats the Spitfire's teeth.

 

[Nonskimmer]

The 5 series fighters were by no means ugly! Far from it!

I personally just happen to think that the later Spits looked better.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

There, the Canadain has spoken!!!

 

[Nonskimmer]

Carry on, please.

 

[Soren]

I fully agree.

The early-mid Spit's don't at all look good to me. But the later ones such as the Mk.XIV, I think they are very handsome ! The Griffon engine really has a positive effect on the later Spit's looks !
