Got them all. Although I suspect the (speaking in code) top one on the right hand side may actually be an A6M Zero.

Had that thought... canopy too small and tail wrong shape in my opinion. To me, it's either a P 47 D or a Ki 43. The artist really skimmed on details there, just like the Typhoon (which I think is a Typhoon and not a Tempest because the Tempest has a longer sloping rudder).

Would like help locating the other three planes.

Feel free to call BS on my claims :D
Good call on the KI-61. Better fit than my guess for a G-55. Don't know about the FW Kondor or the JU 290. From the front they look pretty similar:)
For your three missing: Those missing are only partial outlines. So don't look for complete shapes. Not gonna spoil more yet.

They do, I don't know if those 'bumps' under the engines are meant to be a part of the aircraft scetch. If they are then my money's on the 290, if they aren't then it's the 200 :D

Ah right, I'll keep looking. Thanks old bean :)
Fight on and fly on to the last drop of blood and the last drop of fuel - to the last beat of the heart.

Hmm, not sure about iit being a p47, the engine cowling looks wrong to me - but you may be onto something with the KI series. Perhaps more like an 84 than a 43 though? Difficult to really tell - there's pretty much fuck-all to work with!

Having said that, on closer inspection there seems to be a "step" below the tail, which would suggest it is none of the above :(

Yeah... that step annoys the hell out of me as well. Might be artist leisure though as with the Typhoon where a lot of the details obviously aren't part of the plane. Outside of some Torpedo bombers, I can't remember any planes that had such a step in the tail. And for those, some american types, the cockpit doesn't fit as it's clearly a bubble canopy which would indicate a fighter or at least fighter-bomber.

Hurricane between the angry blokes legs.
Sprite is correct there is a Typhoon, it's basically the entire woman powdering her nose.

And the cow's tail on the right makes a rudder of the P-47, the left horn is its canopy, right ear its spinner
