Country:  | not exactly but the aerodynamic shape. the Germans always were interested in oversized engines and more power, but they finally got it straight in 1945 with Ta 152 but too little too late...........and thank goodness !

Country: | elaborate please ! the dora ugly and why ? It's a sharp looking plane, not a big fat nose or fuselage, adequate firepower and service ceiling for combat.

Country: | I believe you are Lanc.
I do like the looks of the Fw-190A-8 more than the D-9. I still do love the looks of the D-9, and any other Fw-190 for that matter.

| I have a couple of great plan skecthes of the D-9 and the 152. Unfortunately, they are too large to fit a scanner (and I don't have a scanner anyway). I think the D-9 was the better looking of the two as the wings of the 152 just seem too long to me.
