Description I had a model of a Vought Corsair, i began to lose various pieces of the model as I built it. Normally i wouldn't mind, but when i lose a piece as important as the cockpit glass cover, i simply can't convince myself to attempt a realistic model. So instead, i quickly finished painting and decaling the model, and went on to destroying it instead.

I cut off the right wing with scissors, and stuck some slices of tin in them to represent the wingframe. I bent the propellors back (although you can't see them in this pic) and scattered landing gears, crushed a drop tank into pieces, and got some old clear plastic and crushed that into pieces.

I didnt want to show the entire scene yet, because i still have to make a ground (green spraypaint on sandpaper?). But for now, you can try to figure out what happened to Ace Hardy, Pilot of the Vought Corsair, 2nd Lieutenant of 356th squadron. KIA over Vietnam in 1950, body was never found. Those would be bullet holes leading up to the cockpit, and that would be blood in the cockpit.

That's a very good way to reuse a model missing pieces.

please read the description first, everything you said i should do i have done, you should be able to see the ripped off wing with sheets of metal showing.

lol
u could have improvise..
im build static models too
u could rip the wings off and show the sheets of metal getting thorn apart.. add little shards of glass(use those book binding plastic) add some smoke and bend the propellers... add some bullet holes in the tail..
i like the way u do ur bullet holes and the blood on the seat
