Jeffry, I think straws are the main-gear struts. Still can't figure out what he made the fuse out of...
OK - a little background - our local IPMS group theme display at ModelExpo a couple of years ago was "make something using a plastic disposable bowl as a base". I combined the typical function of the base material with something more likely to be seen at a modelling competition/exhibition - thus "Sara Lee", the Dessert Fighter was born.
So to answer these conjectures, the main fuselage are a couple of plastic disposable bowls, the struts are those dowells you use for balloons ( a cheap source of plastic rod and other useful items can be found at your local party supplier ), the wings & tail hail from a trashed 1/32 Hurricane, the cowl is from a 1/48 B29, the canopy was a leftover from a 1/32 DH Hornet project and the wheels, prop & pilot are all from the spares box provenance unsure. The fork & the spoon are from my stock of "plastic things I've taken a shine to" which is raided from time to time to provide coloured plastic for thermoforming or eating cake.
