Unhappy Re: Whats Your Favorite WWII aircraft

Bhah, would have liked to get the F4U Corsair in there too. But then how do you exclude the Mustang?

Yo CC, don't recognise those fighters you got there! What's a Hampden??? Too each his own. I remember the Hampden featuring in the War/Battle comics of old. I'm with you on the Flying boats and floatplanes. I fancy the Sunderland and Emily in particular and would love to see them in 1/72. Happy with your choices too, pretty cool.
