The early marks, yeah. Especially the Mark IX. After that though, you get the tear drop canopies, griffon engines, shark tail fins and clipped wings. For me, the Spitfire becomes much less good looking after the Mark IX.
The Lancaster (we're pretending the 300 or so Lancs with Bristol Hercules' didn't exist here), now there's a good looking aeroplane.
I actually like the look of the Griffon-engined Spits. Aside from the clipped/extended wings, those are just wrong.
And if we're talking good-looking bombers, the B-47 wins.
