Yes, the chin radiator and the canopy remind a lot of an early Ju 87, and the silhouette is pretty Il-2-like, too. Was not planned that way, things just evolved, and our minds play many tricks on perception...  

To me it's more like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EKW_C-36 with a chin radiator.

Check this picture out for a better idea: http://s120.photobucket.com/user/deMichu/media/005.jpg.html

I didn't know about that one, sure looks like a close relative, cousin perhaps?

Have you ever seen late versions of the C-36 with turboprops and en extended nose (plus extra fin)? These were target tugs.









Cool paint scheme...

BTW: The C-36 is a cool find and close relative - but there was no intention to copy the Swiss design, een though I am/was aware of it.

My fav is the second pic of the polished metal with yellow.

I have indeed.  Would to me be better looking without the middle fin.  So when are you going to build an RR Dart Defiant then??

And none suggested.  I think we all do a bit of wiffing that comes out (unintentially) looking like something real world - which I think means the build must be convincing.

If ever there was an aeroplane that looked like a charicature of itself, it's a C-36!

It has, as they say, a verrrrrrrrrry looooooong nose!
