I'm sorry, but that can't compare to the Waitomo Airtruk (seen briefly at the end of 'Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome'):



It does have serious competition from the Westland-Hill Pterodactyl V, though:



And for sheer lunacy, there's always the Vedo Villi:



But in more common ugliness, there's the Potez 75:



or the Fleet Shadower:



or the P.Z.L.W.S.4 'Zubr':



or the Blackburn F3:



or the Camproni Stipa:



or the Il-20 'Gorbun':



There have been immense amounts of ugliness perpetrated on the skies, but only a few really qualify to have gotten into the air only because they were repelled by the ground...

that Campori Stimpa looks like something you get from a kinder egg on Eastern. Just attach wings to the yellow plastic 'egg' and voila!

If Stimpa existed before WWII HTC should put modelling it as highest priority. no question.
