Here is a grouping of P-38 airplanes that have been assembled from salvaged bullets and shells.
This was a very popular Pacific Theater form based on surviving examples.
Interestingly, these show variances in size, attachment technique and base shell.
If you like these, be sure to look at my other trench art items to include WW1 era aircraft.
Thanks for looking,
