I vote for this one.
Is that the fuel tank with that atrophied black line. I think it needs a bypass. or at least a couple of stints.
The slipstream off the fins might help keep the fuel warm....

Re: Ugliest Model Engines?
I thought denser cold fuel developed more power than hot fuel. I know it's true for gasoline automobile engines. I ran the fuel line on my race car through a 6' aluminum tube coiled up in a can filled with dry ice, then straight out to the carburetor.

That is so ugly it's almost attractive! There are some real beauties in those photos though!
I was going to add the Soviet K-7, which is also in that list, though a different model, try this!

I couldn't lift a photo of this one, but it's somewhat freakish. Bidding starts at $1,500.

I believe that it did, there are photos of it in flight, although of course at that period in Soviet history you really can't trust a lot of the photos which were published.

No-one seems to know what this engine is, but I think it qualifies to be here!
