Every US Fighter-plane from Trumpeter I have order has it's kill markings blacked out on the decal sheet and anything printed even the outside box art But the German planes decals with swastika's are not touched? Who decides this? I know some goverments have laws prohibiting public ownership and display of offensive images, but history is history. The kits state they are not toys.Just frustrating!

Walt,
I was curious, so I did a Google search, and sure enough there are other posts on various modeling sites about this issue. About the only way around it is to buy a AM decal sheet, which would most likely be of a higher quality and more complete then the decals in the kit.
