A great way to make an ugly plane out of a beautiful one, as has already been shown here in some cases, is to stick radar in the nose, or to make it two seater. I could post many two-seaters here (Sea Fury, Spitfire and Hunter to name but a few) that are still quite pretty, but no where near as pretty as their single seater originals.

Its and XP-47H


Which had a Chrysler XI-2220-11 water-cooled inline 16-cylinder inverted vee engine

The follow up being the XP-72 aka Super Thunderbolt


Which had a air cooled PW R-4360 that had 28 cylinders

Theres a reason for instrumenting a plane for test..
That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.
