                        Well I am not sure if I am ready to cast my vote for the Electric Lightning, but I must admit when viewed from certain angles, it certainly looks like pieces are missing. I do not know if a delta wing would have made it look more complete or not..

                        Chas, at first I thought you were talking about a Lockhead Electra, which was a rather pretty looking aircraft for it's time.

                        What really gets me is that so many people find the E. E. Lightning beautiful!

                        Everything just seems wrong about that poor plane!

                        Well Dan, I do'nt know if the "ELECTRA" can even come close to the 1/48th (approximate scale) Mig from AURORA in the mid 1950's.

                        I just went true the line of worst kits..... and kits that are never gonna be finished.
                        They say you can't argue about taste or color, but in aerial history some stange birds have seen the light of day.

                        So I was wondering about the taste of the modeler......please let me know what airplane (or helicopter) you personnally think is the ugliest bird.

                        Personally I find the "Electric Lightning" absolutely the ugliest machine ever built.

                        How about you ???
