some don't care for the connection to "Nazi" - the cross
...should be a gloved hand on the "MITT GRABBEN"?
I agree, but there is a variation.. trumpeted vs. straight..
I'm just not a fan of der red max. Hello kittyfied or otherwise
I dig the twist of the theme. Very original.
Btw, the moment I saw this thread, I had a flashback to the movie Blazing Saddles and the show scene of Lili von Shtüpp (Madeline Kahn)..... Love that movie.
I like it and would buy it in multiple sizes (thinking LOC 4" version) but I just hate seeing the damn swastika, right up with the confederate flag for me. I would use the newer German insignia. Aaaannnnddddd go...I wonder why Nytrunner said "no" in the "Do you like it" poll?
I'd appreciate the feedback.

In defense of the kit designer, that's the BalkenKreuz (sp?) not a swastika. Like the post above stated, it was the german military emblem, not the sign of the Nazi party. They tried to be tasteful, yet evoke the spirit of the Red Baron style.
Woo! I still have the lone No vote!
Not just a german military emblem...

Aber welche Würste?I voted "If no, why not?" because I don't know who Max is, why he's red, and why is he referred to with a definite article. I know there's a fan base though, so I understand why a mod can be interesting.
But personally, to add German flavour to my collection, I'll have a dozen V-2's instead. Or maybe a rocket that looks like a German beer bottle. Yes, that would be a lot of of fun, and I'd call it the Rocketoberfest. And the motor exhaust would smell like sausages.
