Thank you for pointing out that swastikas are verboten on these kits. Images of hate have no place on my models, no matter how 'historically accurate' they may be.

Wow! I had no idea (about any law of theirs). I presume though, that any modeler could procure any decals necessary in order to avoid any revisionist history. Thanks, Aaron & Elizabeth! I always enjoy your kit reviews, and out-takes!

Great work guys. Love the model reviews and the Bantha poodoo...

Paul, In this case it means that the kit does not include the swastikas used on the real aircraft tail and there are no marking used in their place. (This is to comply with German law.)

Re; Me 262 segment: I don't quite understand the comment about "no swastikas" in the ME-262 kit. Does this mean that swastikas were used on the real aircraft, but are replaced with a different marking in the kit?

As always informative and entertaining. I have a Takom T-54 I'm waiting to build, it looks like it will be a fun build. Good luck to Elisabeth as she begins her Jedi training.
