And I thought the ones "doctored" for Tora! Tora! Tora! were amazing, given that before that they didn't even try. They just used what they could get, and painted meatballs on them. I vaguely remember one movie about a P-47 squadron, with P-51s pretending to be Messerschitts.

Even Das Boot used T-6s, without any modifications.
