fw190 any variant, the wide range of camo is great for modeling.

11

Grumman Hellcat. Though it’s not as agile or pretty as some other fighters, there’s just something about the size and power of the Hellcat that makes me all goosey.

Runner up would probably be the Hurricane Mk. I, the REAL hero of the Battle of Britain despite what some Spit lovers might say.

FW 190/A

I like all the " HEAVIES " but one that stands out would have to be the Lancaster.

If I have to pick a favorite? It would have to be the oil dripping, black smoke belching, napalm dropping, most beautiful sight to many a grunt and downed pilot in Vietnam…the A-1 Skyraider!!! E OR H!!! It doesn’t matter!!!
