Well that's kind of stupid, a Swastika on a model is not a reflection of a political opinion, it's there because model makers try to craft models as accurately as possible.
This reminds me of a guy I knew in Germany who was a kid in the former DDR, the Socialist Paradise. His grandfather was a pilot who flew He 111s during the war. Grandad built a model of one of the planes he flew and made it as accurate as possible, but he wasn't allowed to put a Swastika on the tail because the DDR didn't allow that. Maybe our political correctness is reaching the levels achieved by the old Deutsche Demokratische Republik(?)
