If you're looking for a pre-painted plane crash, PlastCraft Games makes one.

there's a model that's popular with the etsy seller 3-d printer crowd. I guess a bunch of folks have the file. You can choose to get it printed for various scales. I opted for 20mm for my gaslands project. You can see my work on it here:

If you search for crashed 28mm black hawk resin you'll find a couple.

Grubby tanks does one - https://www.grubbytanks.com/product/britannia-miniatures/28mm-ranges/28mm-mogadishu-1993/us-delta-force-rangers/crashed-resin-blackhawk/

In the US there's one by otpterrain - https://www.otpterrain.com/products/black-hawk-down-wreckage

I may be missing something here, but why not take a suitable model kit and convert it into a wreck of your own?  Depending on how trashed it is you could probably eke multiple wrecks out of a single kit, maybe doing one as a recent crash, another as a long-abandoned wreck that's partially overgrown, and maybe even some kind of post-apoc shanty hut out of the leftovers.

I grew up demolishing model kits, so maybe it's just me though.

There's one literally one thread down:

Crashed Plane (https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=132743.0)

Looks like a promising start...

I think PlastCraft games has gone out of business?

Apparently, yes.

The only ones I can see at the moment are Amera's vacformed chopper wreck, Anvil Industry's SF crates and aircraft wreck 3d-print scatter terrain bundle, and Printable scenery's much more impressive 3d-print plane wreck.

Who does crashed planes.....? 

My guess is bad pilots or terrorists..

Seriously, have you looked at scale models and then using a hack saw and hammer.  I've done that in 1/72 scale ages ago....long before digital cameras.....am I giving my age away?  I believe I also used a hot knife to produce a melted metal look.  Too many fumes, but I was younger then. Not horrible results, but not great either due to my lack of skill.

I'm  planning a crashed 15mm apache  helicopter if I can find time using similar methods. I'm looking for a cheap heat gun to cause fire and heat damage.

Taking a plastic kit apart might work - have a roam over https://www.hntdaab.co.uk/blog/2018/03/07/operation-dragons-hoard-march-update/ (https://www.hntdaab.co.uk/blog/2018/03/07/operation-dragons-hoard-march-update/) for an example.

I'd go for a 3D resin print buddy

How about this:

https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/foam-vliegtuig-xl/9200000058040524/ (https://www.bol.com/nl/nl/p/foam-vliegtuig-xl/9200000058040524/)

It's big enough for 28mm and can be broken into pieces to create a wreck.
Don't know if this is available outside the Netherlands however.
