Re: Note to Manufacturers: No Swastika, No Sale!

I tend to agree with you----you want the swastika, right!----however, I'm not going to pass up a great model when a simple decal application will correct the situation. In my case, the alterations I make on many diecast models go far beyond the swastika issue. Usually, I weather my models in various ways, paint on missing lights, etc. and as often as not, I'll get an extra or even two---if I really like the plane---and do partial or total repaints, using decals to replicate other schemes and units.

For those who do not wish to alter their models in any way, however, the absence of the swastika on German WW II aircraft replicas must be a real bummer. So I can see where you are coming from and, were I of this mind, I might well adopt your position and boycott the offending marketers.
