Thread: The best looking machine

  1. #1

    Default The best looking machine

    I look up from my keyboard and I have Hartmann's Me109 hanging down on my right and a P51D on my left. Both are really good looking planes but I think the 109 looks more business like. What do you think

    Both are fine looking birds. During the war many were mistaken for the other, both a 109 mistaken for a mustang and mustang for a 109. Story has it that a German pilot got in formation with a group of mustangs. It's a tough call to say which is better looking as I like them both. Being American I might lean towards the mustang.

    109s always looked too fragile to me until they got to the Gustav, which looks like a really mean bastard. P51D just looks elegant. I suppose you could liken them to a Klingon D-7 and the Enterprise. Enterprise looked good, but the D-7 just looks like a warship.

    I have always liked the Messerschmitt Bf109F - sleek and dangerous.

    Of the two options I'd go for the Mustang but it's hard to beat a good looking Fokker !

    Dave,

    That's a Focke-Wulf 190A. Antony Fokker moved to Holland after WW1.

    PS. I also like the FW-190A but you can't beat the P-51D for color schemes.
