Well I don't really wonder, since this is probably one of the ugliest designs out there - even a mother would repell it without hesitation.
The design is so odd that it was a perfect plane for one of the Mad Max sequels.

I know of a FS9 variant:

It WAS used in road Warrior Beyond Thunder dome and fit in perfectly with those other contraptions they invented.. I think they also use it in Australia as an air ambulence.. Not positive though..

Yes, one with a Road Warrior repaint would be fun to have.
