Ugliest Aircraft ever put into production?

[Gern]

A good thing you didn't ask for the best looking. I think you would have ended up with 100 pictures of Spitfires and Me 109E

Sorry Ian but you got it wrong. Sure the Spit and Me 109 (and any others folks consider worthy of a mention) can compete for second place, but there's really only one possible winner:

Love the expression on the sturgeon SB3, how can you call that ugly :angry:

The Beluga - only 5 made, but function totally dictates it's form

24 of the TT.2 were manufactured.

How about this one....Kaman K-Max, the rotor arrangement alone does my head in.....

Not the most beautiful

Kaman specialised in the intermeshing rotors - the Huskie was quite succesfull - nearly 200 going into service

The Beluga is the Airbus conversion to carry large assemblies of the Airbus family around Europe

The Savoia-Marchetti S55 should fit nicely into this thread.

And I believe that Dora wings are bringing out a 1/72 version.

Neil Merryweather finished a model of this recently!

The Yak-25 doesn’t really scream “beautiful plane”:



But the Yak-28 is even worse:

Yak!!! It looks horrible Jakko. Those attachments look like flotation devices incase they ditch.

How dare you , i take that as a personal insult! :smiling5::tongue-out3: The yak 28 is one of my favourites actually and ive made both these aircraft in 1/72 from the quite challenging Amodel kits. I reckon chris nailed it with the shorts sturgeon , especially the one with the droopy moose like nose!!! Cheers tony

Favourite ≠ beautiful I’m quite fond myself of a number of planes and things that are not exactly much to look at.
