This thread is not for a list of nice-looking aircraft or a list of beautiful aircraft in history.
What I mean PRETTY here is that any part of the aircraft we listed here just designed as what’s supposed to be or where it should to be.
I don’t know how to use English to express what am I going to say, maybe example will tell everything.
Mitsubishi ki-83
This is the aircraft with no record but it is a such aircraft which gives you a standard impression.
Martin B-26 Marauder
With cigar-shaped airframe and normative wing, it is a standard picture for propeller airplane. Certainly, if there is no turret on back, it will be better.
Primarily, De Harviiland Mosquito was in my list, but since I found ki-83, the forward swept back-edge of its wing looks not so demure.
Do you have your instance?

The Avia B-35/135 looks like the Spitfires ugly deformed half sister.
What about a cross between a 109 and a spitfire after some up close and personal dogfighting :highly_amused:
Rafael anyone :p

Well, it did become the Nimrod and was kind of a combat aircraft!

Prototype/Early B.1 Vulcan
Victor B.1
Baby Spit (naturally)
Hawker Fury
Supermarine Scimitar
F-101 two-seat variants
Two-seat Jaguar
Mirage IV
FW-200 Condor
Vega Gull (OK, not a “combat aircraft”)
I also have a real soft spot for the Gladiator. Not everyone’s idea of beauty but to me it just looks “right”.
By: D1566 - 18th July 2013 at 12:34
Baby Spit for sure, looks right.
Camel,
Mossie,
Mustang,I will have another think.
TA
Personally I prefer the looks of the Griffon engine big tail Spitfires and Seafires.
But if we are talking pretty, then the Sopwith Pup edges it from the Camel!

Err, why the Spitfeful forum name then?

FMA IAe.30 Namcu

I like this one too would have been better if teething troubles had been ironed out I think the swift.

I love the Mustang, but “pretty”?
I don’t think that you can go past the Spitfire.
Cheers

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Nakajima Ki-43 Oscar, followed by the Hawker Fury (biplane) and the round top rudder early MkIX Spitfire.
Although there is a very special place in my heart for the AW Ape. 😀
