P-38 meets Air Truk.
Words fail...

I think that was quite an accurate description Charl. Menacing but ugly.
A very nice paint though, as usual.

I think it looks somewhat elegant...but venomous.
I tend to like aircraft that "different"...like the F-4.

[jankees]

ugly? really? I think it is beautiful...in a sinister way..

but hey, I like the Grumman Duck as well...

It’s mainly the fuselage area that I dislike aesthetically. The bulbous nose and stepped canopy as well as the fuselage shape. It looks like a series of afterthought add ons.

could be worse...

Talking about aesthetically challenged: I've always felt the Fairey Barracuda was constructed from a bunch of left-over parts..

those flaps, the struts below the tailplanes, the huge windows in the sides, the greenhouse canopy, the antennas all over...compared to this, the Widow is a thing of beauty

Regarding the Barracuda ...Im with you there...its odd

Funny you should say that, this is actually the War Thunder model, converted for MSFS, but with my own textures.

Jankees, I agree with you about the Black Widow.
But the Barracuda is a type I like the look of.
