Oh my GOD, how could someone do this to a cub!!?

[Wang Chung]

The only thing more disgraceful than a photoshopped glass cockpit in a cub would be....

...a photoshopped nosewheel on a cub!!

Don't get any ideas, dude.

I was actually going to, but it's been done for real. It was some sort of WWII reconaissance project.

It's been done. I saw one back in the late 60's or early 70's. UGLY.

I've seen this monstrosity. It's uglier in person. Taken from someone's reply on that thread: (just in case you don't want to read down to the bottom)

"That there is the 'el Buteo.' I parked next to it for a summer. The owner is a nature fanatic where it comes to whales and eagles. Apparantly he knows every nest in South Central Ak.

As for the whales, this is where it gets interesting. The leading edge is reproduced from the leading edge of the pectoral fins of the whale. Theoretically to generate lift. The plastic eastereggs on the fuselage depict barnacles on the whale body. I havent learned what the fur and cardboard on the wings is supposed to do. "

It's from an old Grumman American advertising brochure from the 70's.
