Hello From Mississippi!!
« on: August 28, 2013, 08:27:07 AM »
Hey guys!

Beautiful, LTA!  Welcome to the forum.  What scale is she?

She's a 1:720 plastic revell model.  The only problem I have with it is the decals. It didnt come with the Nazi swastikas for the model :'(. Very disappointing.

Btw thanks for the warm welcome :).

Hello LTA

Welcome to the forum.

Thank you for the photo.  Silly when they leave the Nazi Swastikas out of the box.

Happy Landings
Steven Robson

Yes, this is a good point.

Do Revell make kits of the RAF and United States Airforces aircraft that bombed Dresden, 13 to 15 February 1945?

I think history is better understood without the censors.  I also saw a kit of the battleship Bismark without the insignia.

Does this mean that a modeller isn't welcome to display certain national insignia or images on the competition tables in Europe?

Some information would be helpful here.

Thanks
Steven

You can search on Amazon.com. That's were I found my Hindenburg kit. I know they make different types of models. They make motorcycle kits to aircraft kits. I don't know the details on all of it though..

Tell us about your display cabinet.  Is this an aftermarket product?

My mate puts all his models under perspex to protect them from accumulated dust.

Yea I guess it is politically correct. Do you think they will have it for a rudder, and elevator that size?
