First one was a 1/32 (big!) scale of an F4U Corsair from VF-17, "The Jolly Rogers."
Seems my aircraft models all suffered catastrophic flak damage from firecrackers that then went on to ignite with a mighty satisfying 'woomphf' the main fuel tanks stuffed with gasoline (Ok, I grew up on a farm where I had both the room and the gas pump to do this).
Ships were dispatched with a BB gun and diesel. Very realistic plume of black smoke as it slowly sank into a pond.......maybe one of the Learning/Discovery channels can do a special on locating the "Wrecks of Brick's Pond?"
I really did need to get out more then....................
