 I suspect it is Revell's liking for pretending the swastika didn't exist that made them change it.

For information for those who may not know: Revell (and other kit manufacturers) dropped swastikas from their transfer/decal sheets because the symbol is illegal in Germany (it was a Nazi symbol - all Nazi symbols are illegal there). Revell substituted the cross probably because it was the nearest they could get - but then Voss may have also used a cross too of course!

True enough, but that don't stop it being a pain. I'm already on my third pack of swastikas doing my Luftwaffe collection. :(
