Blew up a few many years ago when Cherry bombs and ashcans and M-80's were the thing.
No pieces left after an M-80 at least none that you could recognize.
Never have thrown away one.

Hi.
Have I ever tossed a model??
Well No, not tossed. I like keeping disasters for the spare parts and "testing". But once a Dragon 1/35 BMP-1 kit made me so mad I did Return it half-built. Luck for me I knew the clerk.
Since then I've come to believe the problem wasn't so much the model as it was the maker.

I've tossed one figure set... It was some old sh1t from Zvezda, but I don't remember which one. Figures were underscaled, fitting was horrible and I did not find enough patience to finish building (not mentioning painting)....
Except for that one I usually try to finish what I've started (sooner or later).

Yup I have tossed a model or two before , and they don't fly very well either .
was working on Eduards Pfalz D.IIIa when it was frist released . everything was going well until I glued the fuselage halves together and used Tenax for the frist time . I'm gluing away not paying attention to what I was doing , over using the glue it leak out ran down the sides and melted my finger prints right into the plastic making one hell of a mess .

I havent tossed a military vehicle, but i did toss out an airfix cruiseliner, mostly because i have had it a few years and have lost some parts.

Iv never actually tossed one, but Iv traded away stuff I lost interest in , and I have a "shelf of shame" where I keep half finished/unloved kits..
