alaric99x, you misunderstood my comment.
The Swastika was not including in the artwork on the box or in the decals of the kit itself.
It is only in the last twenty years that I noticed this. When I was a kid I built hundreds of models. The decals and artwork contained the symbol.
I was once told that it was because the symbol of the Nazis represented evil and the killing of millions of innocent people. That is all well and good to know that but, not to deny the symbol existed in a historical context?
Excluding it is "cleansing" history?
I do know that there are laws which prohibit the showing the the Swastika in Germany. It might be a cost thing? The companies leave out the "illegal" symbol so as to not have to make two model kits?
So, German law may have created the "cleansing" and you might be quite right.
The irony is that more innocent people were killed under the Hammer and Sickle symbol than that of the Swastika. :chin:
