Toys of your youth

Luci - Think I probably had all of them, and airfix models too. I wasn't even into planes as such, it was more that flying stuff was cool.

Self quote - cut from the bloodthirsty 'Fighter Planes' Thread

I made several model planes as a child, I remember this one being the cream of the crop due to it's large cockpit area, which allowed me to stuff it full of Hai Karate soaked cotton wool, attach it to a kite string and launch it's flaming wondrousness into my mum's greenhouse, where it caused second degree burns to her prize tomatoes.

This may have been the actual model, as the packaging rings a bell.http://www.google.co.uk/url?source=imglanding&ct=img&q=http://www.oldmodelkits.com/jpegs/Airfix%2002049%20Stuka.JPG&sa=X&ei=IrVOT7yjNeXU0QW61qyeBQ&ved=0CAsQ8wc4Dw&usg=AFQjCNHD0kqRj8H9hsKN5RpmMTexC-35lQ

Lethal but a lot of fun.

What about when you would cut the top off a two litre bottle of fizzy attach a balloon and use it to fire gravel. Oh how we spent our exams, which might explain my lack of GCSE's

We did it with toilet roll tubes and split peas. Less violent I guess.

Holy shit, I'd forgotten about that!
*When we were really young we used darts.

Compasses were also good (the ones for drawing circles not the direction finders. They wouldn't stick into the wooden classroom floor)

Candles and spray cans were good for making flame throwers.

Syringes made good water pistols or if they still had the needle, dart guns.

Mate of mine had a deodorant can implode while he was flame throwing in the gym changing room at school. It closed around his thumb and really hurt. Heat + pressure = a trip to the nurse.

Pocketeers yeah.

For many of my childhood years, I couldn't leave the house without this in my pocket.

Delux Black Lambo.

Something educational for all you delinquents.
