will be useful if you are not artistic/imaginative
enough to visualise making a watermelon into an
aeroplane.
If necessary, cut a thin slice from bottom of watermelon
so it sits level.
Using a sharp paring knife, trace outlines of tail
pieces, propeller and wings on the melon.
Cut & carefully remove sections A, B and C.
Remove fruit from sections, leaving 1/8" of fruit
on the rind; set fruit aside. Set sections B and C
aside for back wings. from section A, cut propeller,
two side wings and two tail pieces; set aside.
Carefully remove fruit from the melon to form a shell.
Cut all fruit into cubes or balls. Set aside. Trim wings
and tail pieces to fit smoothly against the melon.
Attach wings and tail with skewers; trim skewers if
necessary. Attach propeller with a toothpick; insert
grape on end of toothpick. Place one halved kiwifruit
next to airplane on either side for wheels. Fill with
reserved watermelon cubes, a salad or dessert.
