very cool new ones, but made in europe hence w/ no swastikas on luftwaffe aircraft, those i'll avoid, as that makes them not historically accurate.

Maybe you could find some teeny swastikas or lay off the triple shot vente' lattes and try it by hand :drinkers: , that's after you figure out how to move the staffel badge from the cowl to it's correct place on the mid aft fuselage and replace that stylized JG 2 badge :lol: and no Russian P-39? :(

These are coming out of Japan. :wink: There are plenty of after-market decal sets for the 109 with swastikas. As far as decals for the P-40 and P-39 (aka Russian Markings) Im sure MYK will be making sets for both. Since the set hasn't been released yet its hard to tell if Russian markings aren't included. The models are pre-painted but with decals on a sheet for you to apply. Each model has at least two different versions so its possible the french or british versions come with a secondary set of markings for a Russian version.
