Country:  | Found one in an ad for a kit, this thing bumps off the Beaufighter for most ugly.
Ready?, its the Iman Ro 57, a plane so bad looking, you'd forget your chute, and hope you got to bail out. Wish I could post a Img, yeeuch!.

You start looking at the tail and fuselage and you're O.K., move up the fuselage to the wings and you're thinking  "Uh-oh, what's going on," see the undercarriage and those huge tires,  "oh my, what have I..." then you hit that open mouth radiator and... "it's gonna swallow me!" 
I love those two.

| I think the Ro-57 looks attractive compared to the Beaufighter. (perhaps I need a stronger prescription for my glasses) She looks like she has the tail of a Hurricane.

Victor, totally vicious looking.
