flying 262s again...

[Cornelius Quintus]

I just wish people would stop being such whiny babies about the markings- Luftwaffe aircraft look naked without a complete set of markings...

Ave Matt,

right, but in Germany there's a special situation due to our disastrous history. Showing a swastika is prohibited by criminal law and 'allowed' only within small limits (mostly on originals or for scientific purposes). Not long ago, even a company who made stickers against (!) Nazis was sentenced by court, because their stickers featured broken (!)swastikas.... :o

Therefore also a reproduction of a special nice ornamented pugio will get little chance to enter the German market...

Sounds silly to Non-Germans. But as long as there are still (minority!)groups around here, praising the 'Führer' and bashing strangers from time to time, our law against special symbols will not be removed...

Plastic modelers usually cover the swastikas with paper or a dot-shaped sticker at a public exhibition. Hardly possible on a life-size plane at flying speed...
