My first Airfix model was a Hawker Tempest.
Aaaaaaah, happy days.

I put some modelling dope in one of mine
And set light to it to simulate "going down in flames". It was great until the plastic started melting and drops of burning napalm were being spread all over my bedroom floor.

If by that you mean "have it hung from my bedroom ceiling", then yes.
In retrospect, this was a silly thing to have done. The underside of aircraft isn't very interesting.

I used to like how
