Easy  

Pyro can finish the P-63. And add the He 112B for a cool little early war plane.

Do-335 (never encountered in combat but still it looks cool)  
If not... A B24 or a B29 to shoot down, or an A-20.. Ah shoot too many to name off... BUT if I had to choose one, and only one...
He 219.

Spifire Mk. IXe painted in the Colours of 416 RCAF, Mid May, 1943.

DN is the identifier by the way.

Pyro, I hope you still have the documentation that I sent you regarding bomb loadouts for the Spit 9. A centerline 500 lber and 2x 250 lber on the wings. Only used on good runways (ETO). The PTO guys tended towards using only the 500 lber, as the runways were bad, and the wing-mounted 250's put excess strain on the wings during takeoff. The MTO pilots seem to have used just the 250's for some reason - perhaps because they were the first to mount bombs on the Spit (2x 250's on the Mk.V's wings).

You smell that? Do you smell that?
Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
The smell, you know that gasoline smell, smelled like victory.

Definately the F4U-1 or F4U-1A to preceed the F4U-1D. (Possibly even the F4U-1C)

The F4U-1A had the same horsepower as the F4U-1D, was slightly lighter with no outboard ordinance, and was THE definative Corsair of WWII (ie. VMF-214 'Blacksheep Squadron', VF-17 'Jolly Rogers', etc). It also had an extra brace on each side of the canopy unlike the later F4U-1D models.

The F4U-1 was the infamous 'birdcage' Corsair with its heavily reinforced canopy. It was slightly lighter but it also didn't have the water/methanol injection of the F4U-1A and later variants.

*I believe the F4U-1C is also a viable option for modeling. It flew in combat with VMF-311, VMF-441, VBF-8, VBF-85, VBF-99, and the infamous VF-84 (featured F4U-1D scheme in WB's) and possibly other squads also. Lt. Joe D. Robbins claimed 4 kills in one sortie in the F4U-1C while flying with VBF-8! Not one of the more numerous types of Corsair that fought in WWII but definately well bloodied.
