Re: 1/48 scale Dual build Spitfire Mk.Vbs
I love the concept of a discussion grenade and always learn whenever you gents sound off. The Spitfires, like their American cousins The Mustangs, were certainly aesthetically beautiful aircraft and shared a beautiful engine—whether it was hand built by Rolls Royce or assembly line built by Packard. It was Marius that pointed out to me that the 109 was a Benz and the 190 was a Beemer, which I never really considered as such before but certainly based on engine that’s true.
Make more models!

LOL!
It's one of those timeless debates isn't it, what was the best aircraft of WWII - or the most important - it probably varied between when and where in the war you're talking about.
From the Allied point of view, the most important aircraft was probably the DC-3 or PBY.
