Referring to Fig. 2, cut and carefully remove sections A, B and C. Remove fruit from sections, leaving 1/8 in. 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 (fig. 3); 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 as shown in photo. Fill with reserved watermelon cubes, a salad or dessert.
