| Tempests look great too, have to say I like Hawker aircraft (not that that wasn't obvious). What I mean by not a big bomber person is that I do quite like a number of two-engined bombers, but I don't find four-engined aircraft as attractive to the eye. | |

| I'm a bomber person and I'd rather be in one over most fighters any day.

| IMO the Tempest didn't become a great looking aircraft until it was fitted with a radial engine. I never liked the big chin radiator on it and the Typhoon.

| I never liked it. It just made an otherwise smooth design look bulky.

Country:  | And Fighter-Bombers such as P-38's/Mossies/Me-410's/Fw-190A/F's are better still  I much prefer fighters to bombers however...you cant do much with a bomber....But I like a wide range of aicraft. My favourite 3 planes have different numbers of engines, but big, heavy fighters are more my thing.
