Jun 16, 2004 #283 the lancaster kicks ass Major General 19,937 17 Dec 20, 2003 the cockpit's to far back if you ask me.............
Jun 16, 2004 #284 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 The cockpit was in better position that on the MiG-3. I've never liked the looks of the LaGG, I can't tell you why. Interestingly, I think the La-5 and La-7 were the best looking of all Russian planes.

Jun 16, 2004 #285 the lancaster kicks ass Major General 19,937 17 Dec 20, 2003 i don't think the IL-2 looked thet bad....................
Jun 16, 2004 #286 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 The Il-2 was hideous. The airscope on top of the engine cowling ruined any chance it might had had at looking good.

Jun 18, 2004 #287 the lancaster kicks ass Major General 19,937 17 Dec 20, 2003 well it's a matter of opinion, so we'll have 2 agree to dissagree..............
Jul 17, 2004 #288 S Schrage Muzik Airman 13 0 Jul 16, 2004 The Hs. 129 was the worst. Worse than the Il-2.

IMO, the I-16 was one of the best looking planes of WW2. I like the way almost all German planes look but I'd say the Blohm und Voss BV-141 is one of the ugliest if not THE ugliest of the war.

Jul 17, 2004 #290 S Schrage Muzik Airman 13 0 Jul 16, 2004 Nonsense, I think it's a very elegant design.
Jul 17, 2004 #291 plan_D Lieutenant Colonel 11,643 22 Apr 1, 2004 It looks stupid, not ugly. How can it be nonsense, it is an opinion.
Jul 19, 2004 #292 D dead parrot Airman 1st Class 108 0 Jul 7, 2004 Has anyone mentioned those really ugly French bombers from the late 30s? Like the Amoit 143M? http://www.kheichhorn.de/html/body_amiot_143.html It looks like an airship gondola with tractor wheels and bits of plane-like stuff stuck to it. Urgh.

Jul 19, 2004 #293 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 The French had an almost limitless supply of ugly planes.
Jul 21, 2004 #294 the lancaster kicks ass Major General 19,937 17 Dec 20, 2003 i think the Potez 630's not that bad.....................
Jul 21, 2004 #295 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 It's not bad. And the D.520 was very pretty. But everything else looked aweful.
Jul 21, 2004 #296 the lancaster kicks ass Major General 19,937 17 Dec 20, 2003 don't you think that the front half of the Breguet 690 looks a bit like the beau??

Jul 29, 2004 #298 T toffi Airman 76 0 Jul 23, 2004 I would rather say that front of Lagg's fuselage looks quite similar to Spit, what makes it very nice plane (but awful to use).
