Pacific Pit Stop

For such an old kit, it is quite a fine molding - simple but clean. 

 

 

The kit unfortunately didn't come with decals for the tail,
and I don't have any good replacements so it remains blank. 

For the water, I used paper and multiple layers of painted gloss mod-podge. 

I used some trees I think I picked up from amazon.
They are a little over-scale, but the main issue was to overcome their "plastic-ness" with a thorough repaint. 

I decided to mount the plane of a small base representing a beach landing. 

I modified some figures to be the pilot and some water-logged ground crew
