  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.
