Country:  | The better varient is still hard to say. What are your more looking for: performance or handling. True the K model was the fastest but I believe the G model was by far the better of the latter models. However the E model seemed to handel the best and had better flight characteristics, atleast from what I have read. Whichever model you believe, I think the Me-109 was a remarkable aircraft. | |

Country: | I still believe the 109G was the best of all 109's.

Country: | I have to agree with you and I think it was the best looking one of the 2 also. It was sleek and just looked like it wanted fly through the clouds like and eagle. Some of the paint schemes they put on 109G's were just awesome looking. It was a great aircraft. | |

Country: | Yup. I think the 109K looks better than the G, and if you really wanna go detailed I think the Me-309 looked the best.

Country: | I know it is probably off topic because it is not a Me-109 but another aircraft that I thought was extremly awesome looking was the Focke-Wulf Ta-152. She was similar to a Fw-190 but more streamlined and was quite impressive in performance. | |

Country: | Yep, the 152 did look good, but I prefer the looks to the 190D

Country: | The 190D was sweet with its longer nose. I was always more fond of the aircraft with inline engines instead of the aircraft with radial engines just because they looked more aerodynamic and streamlined. But like the 190 I also really liked the P-47 (I might be wrong with the designation). It was a very impressive and powerfull aircraft.

Country: | Yep the P-47 was also a very good looking plane - although only the ones with bubble canopies.

Country: | it's absolutely huge though!! the fact that the engine wasn't too streamlined was more than made up for by it's power.............
