The beauty-contest

[lesofprimus]

The Sunderland is fat.

I'm fat but very aerodynamic and I float.

I don't believe you. I think a catapult experiment is required.

And the Sunderland is still fat, it just pulls it off quite well.

Like I was going to let this thread go by without my favourite.

He's not wearing a helmet!

Fw-190D-9..... Period....... Has been the sexiest thing with a propeller to me since I was 12 or 13..........

Second place is the Corsair, out of respect for my Grandfather...

Seconded. That is one cool plane. And i don't know for sure why the painting of the spiral was made compulsory in 1944, but it sure gave german planes a unique look! 8)

2) Avro Lancaster Mk.I, the best looking bomber of the war

No way, the B-29 is just phenomenally beautiful

Good choice!

 

[cheddar cheese]

The B-26 is a beauty too.

I just think the B-29 is so nice though. Sleek, sexy, torpedo like. And the shape of the engine nacelles is wonderful

Whats up with the wings on that Spitfire? They dont looks right.

 

[JCS]

The best looking bomber for has to be the B-25. 8) The Mossie looks pretty good too, although I dont like the way the leading edge of the wing goes farther forward between the nacelle and the fuselage then the rest of the wing. It just doesnt look right.

 

[cheddar cheese]

I actually think the He-111 looks pretty good too.
