I agree compleatly. I belive the origin reason for this discussion
depend on people who are not involved in plastic modelling at all.
They have seen the swasticas on the box art and think these boxes
are for children. They have raised their voices for forbidden swasticas
and to many people (not involved in modelling) agreed.
Non of these people know anything about modelling and in my
opinion should we ingore these people.

I reccogize some of this in the book 1984...

BTW, I would like to mention the fact that many companys want licens
monney for the decalsheet in the kitbox. There was an article about
it in Fine Scale Modelling for a while ago. That's more serious, isn't 
it?
