I have really had it with this "lets be sensitive to every possible sensitivity anyone might have" crap. If someone is so screwed up in the head and is offended by the swastika on a model ship or airplane then I sure am not going to worry about it. Really that's all I'm going to say about it. With so many millions of people on this earth, there's prbably a nut case of some type that would be offended by almost anything. This isn't meant as a flame to the poster, just my hope that this type of issue doesn't find a home in this newsgroup. Build whatever you like and detail it as accurately as you please and NEVER let someone else censor your hobby!
