For a second there i thought it was a Gloster Meteor

Then i saw the prop, it does sorta kinda resemble one IMO, i mean the nose and canopy clearly comes from the spit

Where the hell have you been?

Awhile ago we were discussing the P-40, how it looked better (IMO) before the redesign of the P-40D (Model 87, due to redesign of Allison engine with new spur gear and higher thrust line) and why the P-40 had the chin radiator. (and w/out it the shark's mouth would be closed)

Well, here's a few P-40 versions w/out the chin radiator:

XP-40 with ventral radiator:

YP-40F

XP-40K

And one of the Best views of the Hawk 81:

Hey, do I see John Wayne in that bottom pic?


Nice views KK.
I have to say, I like the bottom one best. Very aggressive looking bunch.

Tup I like the looks of the Tomahawk better than the later models with the altered nose. (due to change in Allison design with shorter engine and higher thrust line)

Tomahawk:

Kittyhawk/Warhawk:

PCM 1/32 Re. 2005..... tale of an elegant fighter - LSP Forums

I think the Reggiane Re 2005 is a looker

 

[Desert Fox]

Completely agree. Italians know how to make beautiful aeroplanes. The Macchi MC 205 Veltro is perfection itself 8)

Dh98, Sunderland Flying Boats, P40F, P38, Spitfire, La-7, Beaufighter, Ki43, Tempest, JU88, Me262, bf110

KK,

You must have better eyes than I.
Both planes look the same, to me.

It's more obvious here:

 

[Elvis]

Ah, I see it now (#$*^% shadows!).
I guess I'm kind of the opposite. I actually like the looks of the larger radiator "cowling" of the later versions.
It just seems like it belongs there, to me.

The later nose makes it look more aggressive, kind of like the Bf 109. But I think the early nose was sleeker and more shark like. The canopy and rear fusalage of the later models was a bit sleeker though. (a bit lower profile, and more slope to the wind screen)

Where the hell have you been?

Didnt realise id be missed

lol


Moved out to the back woods, i was working on the pipelines for like 7 months Xraying pipelines, but the Rigs have been more or less inactive around mid Alberta, So i was swamping for a bit, that wasnt cool, So i just started running a service truck changing tires working on Graters, Big Beds, Skidders, wheelers, really heavy duty ****, Making some serious money out in my little boom town

More or less ive been a little occupied for the last year or so

Starting to settle down a bit though

 

[olbrat]

my two cents:

WWI Taube (and a number of other WWI aircraft)
Graf Zeppelin
DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide
MC205
ME262
B-25 Mitchell (balanced look/proportions)
F7F Tigercat
F9F Panther
F89 Scorpion
Vulcan

 

[kool kitty89]

I think the R.2005 looks better than the MC.205 (or the G.55)
