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

maybe 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.....

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.

no damage to one and the other completely going bananas?.. that tells a lot about plastic quality.... which brand was the supermarine?

never 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 😛

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. 🙂

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

looking 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.

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

Go 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...?

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

Good thanks Choppa, busy at work so not much time for modelling, just started a 1/48 resin Bristow Short Crusader but got others to finish off also.

Geez 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! 🙂

@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.

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

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.
