Ben STONE 作者No, I think this is well and truly going into the bin. Maybe salvage a few parts but it's pretty well totalled as far as I'm concerned

Spanjaardmaybe one of those crazy transformations? i have seen a few (never done one myself) like taking a Me-262 to make the Tintin submarine for example.....

Ben STONE 作者There was also damage to the landing gear on a Triebflugel I've been working on. Easily fixed but lesson learned. FWIW, there was also a Dragon 1/48 Me163 fuselage in the same container with no damage.

Spanjaardno damage to one and the other completely going bananas?.. that tells a lot about plastic quality.... which brand was the supermarine?
7 March 2017, 12:16
Spanjaardnever done one of that brand and i doubt i will after seeing this.....I remember i did not like their paints 20 years ago, but that may have been more my fault anyway 😛

Ben STONE 作者It's not a bad kit nor was the Testors GeeBee Racer I did. Just don't like hot weather in a sealed container I guess. In Adelaide terms it wasn't that hot. 🙂

Spanjaardif it would have been really hot, i guess you would have simply find melted plastic then 😄

Spanjaardlooking back, i see that one of the transformations that i was talking about was actually yours 😉
but i was mostly thinking about the one from Greg Tintin Shark Submarine - Completed | Album by strobez (1:72) ,although yours is also quite good too.

Greg BakerWow... well, if you ever wondered what Salavador Dali would be like as a model maker, now you know!

Now, that's funny, I don't care who you are!! 🙂

Ben STONE 作者It is funny, I laughed. Now that's an interesting idea. A Salvador Supermarine S6.

Gary BrantleyGo with it Ben. 🙂 bet one could spend a bit of time looking over Dali's paintings and adapt his style to this warped model. Might just be great...?

Spanjaardcertainly it will be unique 🙂
worse case scenario, will be the bin, which is what you were going to do already

GlennGeez Ben it's not even summer yet! Where did you have it stored? In the oven... You gotta paint it yellow with little brown bits! 🙂

Alexander Grivonevwow, at first glance i thought it was one of those "mystery projects"

Achim RibbeYes the guy with the damage. He dont have to care about the joking....hm seems Airfix has very soft Plastic

Ben STONE 作者@Glenn, it happened last Australian summer, in Adelaide they can get pretty brutal 35-40 degrees is very common. It was stored in a plastic storage box on the back patio undercover. Only this and a HUMA Triebflugel were damaged so it's just shit plastic.
@Achim, it was a Testors kit.

Taarna EckartChoppa is a humorous fella, of course he sees bananas. I though, am spicy and see red Serrano peppers and leaves.

Bart Goesaertoh man, cut the crap 😉 , make it a pepperana, yellow/brown floats and a red body with leafgreen wings...

Album info
This is what can happen during the South Australian summer. It was kept in a plastic container in a plastic storage box in the shade outdoors. It probably happened over a few days of 32-37 degrees Celsius. Never had this before, obviously the type of plastic.
