Oh now you're taking me back to my youth. I'd have air battles with my models. The old revell f4f in 72, if you left the main gear out, a lady finger would slide perfectly in. Just like Hollywood!
A few more future releases.

After making shell damage to my ship models with a heated screw driver, I'd sprinkle gun powder around it and light it. Looked realistic enough to 12 years old me.

I found model glue was flammable so many fire crackers so many planes, so many wings burned off. Those were the days!

Back in the late 60's I had an E Boat or a PT model, about a foot long and wanted to sink it using a pellet gun. I put it in a creek pond that ran through our property and climbed up the bank about 80' away with the intention of hitting it in the hull and watching a dramatic sinking. First shot hit the bottom of the bridge and ripped it and the deck off....no dramatic sinking

I was the opposite - when mates destroyed their kits, I was the guy scavenging the usable parts. Still do!

When I was a kid, my little sister decided to watch my planes fly into a wall.

When I was a young lad my friend built a Revell Spitfire with its demise in mind. Before gluing the fuselage halves together, he found a narrow pill container, filled it with gasoline, glued the lid on and then glued it into the fuselage. A hole in the wing tip allowed a string to be knotted there, the purpose of which was to enable the operator to swing the model around his head at a suitable "safe" distance after the model had been set on fire. The speed of the swing provided the needed oxygen for full combustion and the gasoline added a dramatic and spontaneous effect, after which the string was let go and the model was sent flaming and streaming black styrene smoke into the Humber River.
