Gads, Nath.  What an ugly airplane.  It's all misproportioned.  The Fw190 A series at least looks like a menacing war maching, the D/Ta152 series is just plain ugly.

I have to agree with you Fishu.  I've never really seen what other people see in the lines of the P-51.

The Malcolm hooded Spitfires are much nicer looking.  I also don't care for the clipped wings.  I do however like the engine cowling of the Griffon engined Spitfires.


Wait, oh no.  I've agreed with Fishu on something.    

In all seriousness, I think that Fishu and I would agree on quite a few things outside of the RAF vs. Luftwaffe debates that we have here.

For example, I cheered Finland on in the Winter Olympics, even over the United States.  Was that wrong?
