Most elegant post WW-2 design ?

[Erwin 1,977]

Hi all,

 

As a sequel to my  "Most elegant WW-2 design" topic,I'm starting this topic for our membes that are more into modern design.

Name only one post WW-2 design that for you is the most elegant.Military or civil.

 

I don't know a lot about those types.

So please  post the type with your picture.

 

For me it's the F-117...

 

 

It's also still the only modern design model I've ever build...

For me elegant goes to the Seahawk for similar reasons as it's cousin the Hunter

Two 1/32 nd Italeri "fantasy" builds.

I called them the Me 117 "Adler".

The one with the red fin is the "Propaganda" prototype.The camouflaged Adler  is with full weapons.

Another vote for the Hunter here, no question.

I don't see civilian types excluded, so the Concorde has a lot going for it, but of all the choices, I will give the nod to the Vickers Super VC10 in BOAC markings.

If we are going elegant post war civi, its GOT to be the Beechcraft Starship without a doubt for me

 

[Radub 4,042]

My vote is for the Piaggio P.180 Avanti.

Sorry fellas.  Your tubby, stubby, old fighters are the antithesis of elegant.  This aircraft has all of the aspects of the word 'graceful'.

 

 

The B1-b Bomber.

[mozart 11,562]

Looks like a big Hunter to me Gaz!
