No, it is a battleship.

My favorite medium bomber B-25. https://wallup.net/military-aircraft-aircraft-world-war-ii-mitchell-b-25-3/ This one has stingers. [;)] [image]local://upfiles/45799/9914D874BF8B4B39A751982E67D4092B.jpg[/image]

Sometimes it's difficult to know where 'Character' crosses into ugly. Personally I've always had a soft spot for the SM.79. I think she stays just the right side of 'full of character'. [image]local://upfiles/28156/34A10E03A65044ED9EA349DFAD86D87A.jpg[/image]

Sticking with things Italian, there is the Piaggio bomber. No full of character, just ugly thanks to the nose. [image]local://upfiles/28156/3B74B24385DD41119FE637E13DD1EB8B.jpg[/image]

Funny. The tail design is the clincher for me. The Lancaster is the standard for a good looking heavy WWII bomber that I compare the others against. And, so far, no one (that I recall) has been close.

U-505 a Type IXC. [image]local://upfiles/24234/C46338A8854B417791F14AD92867F28D.jpg[/image] Only one of four U-Boats in existence as museum ships. The most heavily damaged U-Boat to make it to port. Became the butt of jokes thanks to her four in a row botched patrols. Her captain shot himself in the control room while under depth charge attack on her 10th patrol. Captured on her 12th patrol.
