Aircrafts: prototypes and projects

[Dragos]

Altrough the FW is not ready yet, here is a new project: Florov 4302 , an obscure soviet rocket-plane.

Looks a lot like the X-1, dosen't it?

[Dragos]

the test build is ready

As the images are only going out to modellers who are generally sticklers for detail, I don't think anyone will have any problems with a swastika, if that was the insignia on the original.

As most modellers are sticklers for accuracy, I can't see anyone having a problem with a swastika if that would have been part of the original's insignia.

Try it on a german forum, you will see....

Yes, that would be a problem for a german modeler, at least when I was over there the (at that time) West Germans were absolute death on anything remotely to do with the Nazi's, you couln't even possess a Nazi medal even if you were the veteran that won it.

Actually, you can. However, you can't show it off in public. There are many, many collectors, such as Wolfgang Hardin, who have stuff, they just can't wear it in public(not that you'd want to wear it, since originals are so expensive) Therefore, you have to blank it out in a photo, but having it is OK.
