Yeah, the turret's almost as bad as some of those British windblocks.

Disagree. The B-19 is definitely impressive in its size, the the R2D2 turrets and the lumpiness of its Piaggio-like forward section take it off the list of best looking planes.

My favourite British windblock is the retractable dustbin turret.Yeah, the turret's almost as bad as some of those British windblocks.
The Short Seamew is also cab over engine.That's the first cab-over aircraft I can recall. I think cab-over trucks are butt-ugly, too..................
Looks sort of like ones on Junkers Ju86s

It's mother, the XP-75, not A, was the really ugly one.
On the otherhand, Vultee's XP-81, which was similar to the P-75A, was perhaps the best looking aircraft Vultee ever made.
As the man said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder... now I will gladly take possession of the XP-75 if nobody else wants itNope. Still has a face like a smacked arse.
You can park it next to any French 1920s, early 30s bomber
