The JU52 was the most famous German transport of the war. The JU52 was built of ridged metal skin and got no attention to beauty features. Parts and pieces stuck out of the airframe as we can clearly see from your pictures.

This is one ugly plane.....  :-/ But I like it!  ;D

All in good humor!
Personally, I find anything with wings the most beautiful thing on earth! I love planes and this one too!

As I mentioned in my first post the JU52 was built of ridged metal skin and got no attention what so ever to its beauty features thus it is one ugly duckling! But....it has wings thus....  ;D

The correct technical term is corrugated skin. This was first used on the Junkers J4 of 1917 & a feature of Junkers designs until the late 1930s. It's a very strong method of all-metal construction for a comparatively low weight. The control surfaces on many light aircraft like the C-172 still use this feature today.

Thanks for providing the correct term and providing additional information.

.... The only thing i dislike is that it flies slow and behavely.

It flies slowly because of the enormous drag the airframe generates due to parts sticking out and the corrugated skin! (Hay I used corrugated  :P )
