The Stuka certainly looks like a dangerous machine and there's no surprise that the greatest of all Stuka pilots was an advisor on the A-10 Thunderbolt II's developmentI think the Stuka has the most menacing look of any AC Ive seen. Another one would be the A-10 Warthog.
P51 especially the razor back models? I like the razor back models much more than the bubble canopy models and the same goes for the Spitfire but oddly enough I prefer the P47 with a bubble canopy. I think the Me109F to be the least ugly Me109, while I think the Me109g to be the most ugly but they are included as the same choice. It is just personal taste though.
I don't think the P51 ugly, but I much prefer the razor back version to the bubble canopy version and just to be extra fussy it needs to be painted green as well. I find that a lot of planes look much better when painted in certain colours, for me P51s and B17s look better in green while B24s, B25s and P47s look their best in natural aluminium, P40s look best in RAF desert colours while P38s and B26s just look good in any colour.I understand personal taste and all, but yhe P-51 and Bf 109? Ugly? No way...
....These are all prejudices I picked up from making airfix kits when I was a nipper.
"Ugly fighter" to me is an oxymoron.
Though most of the French fighters weren't very attractive.
Oh my... that Carnot... that is a gold medal in ugly.
It looks like they dredged the Channel for the remains of the Spanish Armada, pieced them together with some iron cladding and called it a day.
You are quite right Soulezoo. Perhaps they believed that an enemy, seeing such a "thing" (truly a steam punk horror), would be frightened away. Cherio! Sir P.
