I bought this from MBK, but I think it came from stock elsewhere. Some politically-correct vandal had not only covered the swastikas with black stickers (thus defacing the photo reference sheet), but had also removed the swastika decals from the box. Sod’s law, that was the version I was hoping to build!

That's weird, never seen anyone do it with Finnish ones, they are distinctly different to the German ones so it is odd.

I actually had the kit once, was not confident with the skill level I had at the time, so I posted it off to girlfriend in Australia, I kind of wish I had one to do now though.

@Martin that's exactly what I thought when I read the reviews of the Crusader 🙁
