Having released a 190 which, was something I would not have expected and by the looks done it very well I am sure Tom will come up with something awesome in the next plane release

That would work for me.
Couldn't afford the K&C wooden version, but a polystone Typhoon would definately get my cash.

What about a British thunderbolt razorback unusual but would look great just like the British mustang

How about a nice BoB Bf109E or a later Bf109F? Wouldn't mind a BoFrance P-36 Hawk either. -- Al

Here's one of the wooden typhoons.

That would be an imposing looking plane, but for me, a Typhoon or Tempest would be one of my first wishes. I'd go a 262 as well.

I'm still looking forward to some different paint schemes on the 190!

What a stunning aircraft for me, second only to the spitfire

Yep. I'd like to see a funky camo job. I would love a P-47 bubbletop, P-38 and I would not turn down a 262!

The Typhoon did not prove to be very effective for its intended fighter role and was mainly used for ground attack.

 

[Mitch]

It certainly never was a spitfire or P51 but, as a ground attack aircraft it was bettered by none in WWII IMO
Mitch

At the beginning, Typhoon was used as a low-level interceptor fighter while from early 1943, after improved, its role changed from a fighter to a fighter bomber, so it could be taken as a multi-purpose aircraft.

As a ground attack aircraft the Typhoon was easily bettered by the Tempest, but I would say that the P-47 was superior to both, especially in terms of durability which is an important consideration in that role. However, the Russian Il-2/10 is often considered the best ground attack aircraft of WWII.

Also its phycological effect on the enemy was superb,operating above Normandy in 'cab ranks' the German Tank crews who once felt almost invulnerable were now the prey and death could come at any moment. This led to many German Tank movements taking place at night. Those ground attack crews did a wonderful job in destroying Nazi armour and keeping their heads down at all times

Rob...
Yes indeed and I would certainly have just given up if a 300 mile an hour plane came buzzing in and dropped several 15Ilb rockets on my head. Makes you wonder how they put up the fight they did they were always on a losing streak
