Marek provides a version with and without the swastika in his kits, so that's probably the best practice to follow. I'm sure we are all mature adults who can appreciate on the one hand the arguement that the historical reality was that these aircraft were used in the service of the Third Reich and were decorated with this political symbol, and on the other the fact that it is not only illegal in some countries but is still actively a symbol of hate and extreme political views and represents apaulling crimes against humanity, or worse celebrates their perpetrators. Personally I do not include it as it could cause some trouble in my profession, and I have at least one student who is Jewish who might see my models. I usually follow the practice used in Germany which is to use a square, bars or a simple cross.
