Yet an obscure Russian close air support aircraft that lost a competition to the now notorious Sukhoi Su-25 may take the trophy for the must gorgeously ugly combat jet of all time. A couple of contenders...
Of course airplanes always look uglier parked on the ground.

I spoke too soon. That’s not an ME-109.

I don’t think either of those is a combat “JET” though.
Russian aircraft always have an indefinable “something” that makes them seem odd somehow. Something in the design language is just “off”.

That is a 2/3 or 3/4 scale flying replica of a Stuka. Real ones are a tad bigger.
Here is my favorite Stuka, the Ju-87G-2. Under each wing is a 37mm anti-tank gun. It was the functional predecessor of the A-10.
