Put a bag over it! Potez 540 (OOB)

[Faust]

When the French say “Vive la Difference!”, I doubt they were talking about the difference between aeronautically sound and advanced airplanes and whatever kind of flying aquaria/blimp gondolas the various French designers of the ‘20s and ‘30s were thinking about. However, one can’t deny that there is a difference there… and it is a big one!

Since I already have the Amiot 143 from Heller, it should come as no surprise that I also have the nearly-equally-hideous Potez 540 in my collection! So, with spring about to sprung (or something) I thought it would be good to have a look at what is one of the ugliest ducklings to take to the skies of interwar Europe.

Check out the 1/72 Potez 540 at the link below, and remember, someone, somewhere, thought THIS was a great idea. There’s a reason they don’t make ‘em like THAT anymore!

Another very fugly aeroplane; has an almost "Those Magnificent men in Their Flying Machines" type of vibe.

Love it, and am a fan of Heller kits in general. As for the plane, it reminds me of my favorite quote concerning identifying WW2 planes; " If it's weird, it's French. If it's ugly, it's Russian. If it's weird and ugly, got to be Italian"
