Need to go the whole hog:
Build an early 70s Airfix 1/72 Lanc (Q for Queenie, IIRC), an ME 109E and a FW109, all painted in the style of a 9 yr old (badly) and generate your own Battle of the Ruhr (artistic licence as this 9 yr old was unaware that the day fighters didn't get involved). String them all up from your bedroom ceiling in some form of circling visual fight and set fire to the German fighters with a bunch of Swan Vestas. The liberally applied glue goes v quickly, the Nazi fighters become engulfed, burn thru' the cotton holding them up, fall on the bedroom floor (no carpets in those days, we 'ad it tough) and nearly burn your family's house down. Get a thrashing from your Dad for being an arsonist and unable to explain that you were only trying recreate history, but proudly afterwards lie in bed, watching a gently swaying (draughty windows - like I said we 'ad it tough) soot-blackened Q for Queenie safely head home to Blighty, her brave Air Gunners with another 2 claims.
Airfix Spitfires - they're for girls and little fingers. Unless you've built an Airfix Lanc (or B-17, B24, Halifax, Stirling, Wellington) you'll always be a little suspect and probably a 5th columnist.
