Erwin Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) Hi all, I was wondering which aircraft you find to be the most beautiful/elegant of WW-2. Designed before WW-2 and used in WW-2. Designed during WW-2 ,not used in WW-2. Not in terms of functionality. Just overall look. You can only name one ! For me...

But not if it was still on paper. As for other types. I'm not counting the different marks. Please add your choice. It's interesting to see .

LSP_K2 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Regarding overall nice lines, it's a toss up between the Mustang and Mosquito. R Palimaka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 There's something incredibly beautiful about the Ju-188 design. Love the full greenhouse coming to the point. Matt Kagemusha, Erwin and LSP_Matt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
