Gino, a "Langnase" Focke-Wulf looks cool in whatever scale it is done!

Guess I'm the odd ball on this one. Not a big fan of WWII SEF. There are a few I like, the P-47 and Hellcat. But I like my jets more.

Re: So why WWII Single Engine Fighters..?
they are quick and easy.
biplanes have all that rigging, bombers are too big, and modern planes have all that junk hangin' off them!

Every take-off has a landing...some are just better than others
Re: So why WWII Single Engine Fighters..?
It all depends.. It's like periodical...
When I "returned" to this hobby, of my first 10 projects 7 of 10 were 1st of all single engine fighters..
Of those 7, 5 were from WWII and 2 from WWI.
The rest were single engined bombers or rec-planes, however from WWII.
But, if I look at my latest 10 (not taking in consideration if they are finalised or not), then only two planes are from WWII, though both single engine fighters.. All the rest are jets..
