I voted for the fw-190D. Along with the even more cool ta-152 it is one of the best lookin planes ever built.

The sexiest plane however, was the mig-3

The MiG-3 is about as sexy as a lice infested ogre from the steppes of Asia.

The whole Fw-190 series looks great. I think the D is sweet as a nut though

The D is sleeker and has a sharper nose. It's less stubby than an A. But I find a dewoitine D 520 and especially the mig-3 even more appealing.

As for jets, I love the kikka's looks...

RE the D.520, I love the looks of lightweight fighters.

I dont see how the D.520 even can be compared to the Fw-190A or D.

The Dora and the Ta-152 rank in my opinion with the P-51, Spitfire, and Me-109's as th most appealing to the eye and best looking.

my "miss plane 40-45" stays the mig-3

but then, de gustibus et coloribus non est disputandis.

For twin engined fighters I'd go for the mosquito

For experimantal planes the one the russians had (resembling the p38 and equipped with two ramjets, forgot its name)

well the A varinat is definately the bomber killer an excellent weapons platform.

overall the Dora has a smoother take, yes a longer engine mount but also compare the wing span of the two versions, The D much better suited to take the higher altitudes and fighter vs fighter although the A-8 and A-9 were excellent in a skilled pilots hands.

the dora just looks fast, The A-8 depicted in the profile looks to kick your ass

I personally think the Dora was the better looking. She just looked more sleaker and refined.
