Real metal would. But few model cars were all metal.


Every July 4th, or thereabouts, I would blow up the models I had built over the winter. I clearly remember the aircraft carrier. That sucker just wouldn’t blow up ! I wasn’t using ash cans or cherry bombs, just the little crackers. So, I took my dads 5 lb. lump hammer and smashed
