and the space age Me163

Oooooo, lots of great stuff here. Always loved the DC3, managed to get a flight in one, watching the wingtips gently waving up and down in flight was fun. Buccaneer was another favourite, I remember seeing a cartoon from a Farnborough display when they came into service, showing one with a conning tower and periscope.
Very fond of these, too:

Whats that AndyF1? excuse my ignorance, but it looks great till they stuck the engines on the wings.
[edit]never mind, good old wiki. not heard of it, and thought it was smaller than it actually is, didn't realise it was a bomber.

I can almost smell the airfix glue looking through this thread

That would explain a lot....

Youll be to young to remember this, but for a while they made it smell orange flavoured, not the best idea ever, but as you say, it probably does explain a lot.

CountZero,
I like the Spad too, but it's not really a good looking plane. I still like to have a combination of those and A-10s as a private airforce though, then just go for extended trips to somewhere that needed close air support.
I do love the A-10.

Always have had a soft spot for the A6 Intruder. I have to scale model A6's sitting unbuilt at home. If the weather stays like this I may start making them up.

The MD of a company I used to work for flew those in Vietnam. Off an aircraft carrier. At night.

Ive always liked the look of the Bearcat:
And the FW190 that inspired it:
Radials really do it for me baby, yeah!
Generally the German WW2 fighters are more pleasing to my eye

At the risk of upsetting someone:
I think we've seen the Lancaster already on this thread but not a picture of a painting of one converted in this particular way.
One of my first "Airfix" (yes I know its a Revell) models from many, many, many (bomber) moons ago:

There's a naked fanny on the front of that aircraft

On a more serious note, I've always liked these since seeing two fly over really low when I was a kid

TU-144 deserves a mention I guess, so near, and yet so far...
not a complete loss though - NASA tarted one up to run experiments on/in..
