Question. Should this aircraft have swastikas on the tail. They did not show in the instructions and none were included on the decal sheet.

Is this just Revell not wanting or not being able to provide them? Should I scrounge some from somewhere and add them.

I have noticed that all 110 pictures and side profiles etc, the arcraft have swastikas.

Cheers and thanks,

Jeff

Yes, there should be swastikas on the fin. Revell, like a number of manufacturers, choose not to include them on their decal sheets, as they are still banned in some countries.
Some decal producers make the swastikas in two parts, but, I think that in Germany, even this may be taboo, and I'm guessing that as Revell USA and Revell Germany share distribution of moulds and certain kits, they are playing it cautiously.

Thank you sir. I will pull her out of the display case later and take care of that.

Cheers,

You're welcome Jeff. Coincidentally, I've just been checking a couple of kits, and found that the decal sheets were printed with swastikas included, but these had been cut out of the sheet before distribution !
Good job I bought a couple of sheets of swastikas some years back, when it was really difficult to find them in any Luftwaffe kit.
