From a historical perspective, these tank recognition models were probably the first mass-produced replicas of now classic WWII-era armor vehicles. They may not have modern features like photo-etched parts or individual track links, but today's tank modelers (whether building plastic, resin or paper kits) should appreciate these pioneer miniatures as the predecessors of an international hobby industry.

following your train of thought all the way to the end, should we stop making models of all WWII Axis materiel?
Should we stop making models of American Civil War, WWI, Vietnam or Korea?
I was asking from a *legal* point of view, not an ethical one.

The copyright has surely lapsed on these recognition models and I am thinking of building both this example and the T-34 mentioned above. And I'd like to see some of the aircraft, too.

However, be advised that your honest efforts to clean and post the model might well become a frustration when you see your work for sale on one or another of the foreign pirate sites that profit from the talents of others. Ultimately, we can't stop these thieves, except to encourage fellow modelers and new paper model hobbyists to not treat with the enemy.
Yes, I was mainly curious about the legal aspect.

I think my biggest fun is in designing or in this case, cleaning up images. While having someone else claim one of my image is always a bit annoying, I also realise there's no foolproof way to protect a digital image so I try not to worry too much about it.

i misread it initially, and fellow members outside the forum informed me as such

seeing that the entity which produced this, no longer exists, i doubt there would be any objections in restoring the document
