What is your dream warbird?

[WBNH]

I like the lines on the original EDO OSE-1 prototype.

Maybe a SPA Panther with modified rudder and cowl, and an inline engine like Aeromomentum could fake one, though the Panther's wing mounts a bit far forward.



That's my pick for a single-seater scale "warbird"...even if it was never widely accepted into service. But to the original subject, a Dream Warbird, the PBY Catalina gets my vote.

What is the SP half-track at 1:34? Is it based upon a captured French chassis?

Yes, I believe that's a 7.5-cm PaK 40 L/46 auf m.SPW S307(f) (converted French Somua MCG).

I’ll take an XP-77 myself, it was a proposed late-war emergency fighter but came with all the style and optimism of a lot of pre-war light fighters.
