On SJPONeill's question: The depiction of Swastika, especially on toys, is prohibited by law in Germany. Disobedience of that law might end up in a fine of several ten-thousand euro, public humilitation through the media and even prison depending on the severity of the violation. Unfortunately my site is hosted on a german server, but even if it wasn't, and I would offer the uncensored version there, then german sites and forums couldn't link to it, because then they would violate the law. Of course it could be hosted here, like the swastika-versions of the gladiator. I also already upped it to rapidshare: RapidShare: Easy Filehosting

On captured Aircraft: The planes captured by Germany were thoroughly analysed and restored to airworthiness, then flown for evaluation. That was useful to find out their abilities and weaknesses. On the eastern front, captured La-5's were used against the russians. Some of the captured bombers were used for special OPS behind enemy lines. The yellow marked B-26 is likely to have belonged to the so-called "Wanderzirkus Rosarius" ("Travelling Circus Rosario") which was a special squadron using mostly captured allied fighters. The "Circus" travelled to fighter squadrons all across german occupied territory, to train them on fighting allied aircraft, by letting them do mock up fights against the real things. All the planes of the Circus had a yellow painted lower side.

Could you post the RS link again Chris since the download limit of 10 has been reached already? Thanks.

The South African Version is now available for download. It can be build as both planes from the picture that Werner posted.

Here is a little preview of the noseart:
