21st Century Toys has entered the decal market with this first
sheet that covers 'politically incorrect' subjects. Those of
us who've purchased kits that are offered on the international
market know what most of these kits do not offer swastikas
among their decals to avoid import and/or legal problems with
several EU countries, not the least of which is Germany. So
to compensate for the demand among 1/32 scale modelers out
there for decals to complete these politically correct kits,
21st Century Toys offers this sheet of politically incorrect
markings.
Among the swastikas offered in this set are markings sized
and styled for the following types:
- Ju 87
- Me 262
- Bf 109E
- Bf 109F/G
- Fw 190A
- Fw 190D
In addition, a nice array of US-styled kill markings of German
and Japanese aircraft are also provided.
The EU countries aren't the only ones subject to political
sensitivities. Have you noticed that none of the 21st Century
Toys offerings have been of completely marked AVG P-40B
from the Flying Tigers? This is due to the Chinese sensitivities
over the Taiwanese national markings, so this sheet also provides
you with the 'politically incorrect' Nationalist Chinese markings
to finish out your AVG subjects.
This decal set is available directly from 21st
Century Toys.
My sincere thanks to 21st Century Toys for this review sample!
