Country: | Anyone check out the sweet paint job on the site I posted? That is one of the best looking planes I've seen in a while (along with the P40 series, the P39, P63......) | |

Country: | I know what you mean Gnomey, between the Cosair and the Wildcat, I don't know which one I could chose cause they look so cool.
PS Gnomey do you know what is ironic about the two planes in your avatar? | |

Country: | One is a Spitfire the other is a BF109 (or at least a Spanish copy). I don't see anything ironic in my avatar why?

Country: | I had seen a few models made by spain or other countries, the "chin" was larger (as seen in pic), and more forward than the other models. Oh, and how did you get such a cool pic down to 10 KB??? cause I got a great 1, but it is too big | |

Country: | Resized it down to 100 x 100 pixels in Photoshop. If you shrink the pictures enough the size comes right down

Country: | It's a HA-112 'Buchón' (Pigeon), the Spanish copy of the Bf-109 with a Merlin engine. Easily distinguished from the real Bf-109s.
And the Corsair is not ugly, it's a beautiful plane, as is the Hellcat.
