Spotty German camouflage. It's like finger painting.


Very dignified.


Snazzy!


Understated and subtle


No. This is a crew with too much time on their hands and no thought to modelers of the future.

People who refuse to admit that the Spad XIII was the most beautiful combat aircraft ever to fly.

Spitfire - Mks II or V.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

That mean you dislike the Spitfire.

I dislike hearing the radio advert telling me "that its a popular misconception that you can see the Great Wall of China from the Moon."
Its not the bloody Moon, you fact-less nitwits. Its meant to be "from Space."
Even then I bet you can't really distinguish it.

Also, I dislike that people don't recognise that the Short Sunderland is the greatest combat aircraft every built.  :P

and I dislike that people think the The Godfather book is second-best to the film. There's only one part of the film which I wish was featured in the book, and that's the part where Clemenza is cooking for his soldiers after they've gone to the mattresses and he tells Michael Corleone to come over and learn what its like to lead men and the need to provide for them.
I also dislike that other authors have been messing with The Godfather saga and have introduced other books, after Puzo's death.

I dislike anything but Heinz Tomato Ketchup on my pancakes.

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

P40 Warhawk - awful plane whose only redeeming fature seems to have been sharks teeth
Brewster Buffalo - ugly little thing
P39 Aircobra - ... ugh

The P40 is a competent Air Superiority fighter and IT HAS COOL SHARKS TEETH!!

As to the Kobrushka it was a great little fighter once you stripped out the unnecessary wing guns.

"I liked the Cobra, especially the Q-5 version. It was the lightest version of all Cobras and was the best fighter I ever flew. The cockpit was very comfortable, and visibility was outstanding. The instrument panel was very ergonomic, with the entire complement of instruments right up to an artificial horizon and radio compass. It even had a relief tube in the shape of a funnel. The armored glass was very strong, extremely thick. The armor on the back was also thick. The oxygen equipment was reliable, although the mask was quite small, only covering the nose and mouth. We wore that mask only at high altitude. The HF radio set was powerful, reliable and clear." - Soviet pilot Nikolai G. Golodnikov, recalling his experiences of the P-39

I got caught short at Euston once, before they had change machines there.  I only had a £10 note.  I jumped the barrier and got stopped by the attendant, who told me to go back out. I explained my predicament and said you have two options - You can let me go and use the toilet or you can clean up outside when go out there.

He saw my point.

You have nailed the point precisely!
If they were truly cunning they would put them inside so you have to pay to get out!

Good competitor, I won't deny it.

But the SPAD is also faster than its enemies; great aircraft to survive a dogfight with!

Again, I emphasis that my dislikes aren't necessarily rational.

I'm sure the Spad is lovely and it's parents love it ... but I don't like it. It will never see action on my table. It might appear as wreckage, but that's it.
