Best looking fighter of World War II

What do you think was the best looking fighter of World War II?

My vote goes to the P51-D Mustang.  Long nose, straight lines, bubble canopy, and silver color make this plane awesome looking.  I would also say that the P51 is the most modern looking prop plane of WW2.  

The Spitfires wings look too much like banannas, the P47 is too fat, and the Zero looks too '1930ish'.

Bf109G2: Most elegant!

Bf109G6: Best looking!

FW190A5: Damn good too!

:)

P51D is kinda OK, very clean and modern,  but it is really lacking in character....

P-38 and P-61 best looking. Its obvious they're related =)

P-51 looks like a worn dildo.
Spit is like a flying banana (squished)
The zero looks like a tonka truck
P-40 looks mean.. and that means its butt uggly.
109's are a P-40 wannabe
190's... used tampons.
110's are fokker eindecker groupies
lavs' and yaks mimic the dung beetles on my back yard.

;) :D

Come on, the P38 only looks good by itself.  When you compare the P38 to another plane, it looks to stubby and rounded (when viewed from the side).  When viewed from the top, it looks like a box.
