All airplanes are beautiful! If given a chance I would not refuse to drive a Buchon.

Strange as it looks, the different cowling seems to be putting some missing and much needed machismo and menacing looks back into that otherwise girly-looking aircraft.

/ducks and covers :-P

What can i say, i like the brutish ones better. I'm not RAF-averse, the Spits just look fragile by nature. Hawker designs on the other hand not only mean business but look the part too, and everyone looking at a Typhoon or Hurricane can see it ;-)

Yeah, actually that particular marriage doesn't look at all bad. Much, much better than the Buchon, imo.

Blackdog, I guess you're also a fan of planes like the P-47 and the Corsair then, considering their rather brutish looks?

I actually think that the cowling used for the Frankenspit came from a Bf110.
