Thank you Scout!

Under 10x loop the top layer of the decal was scrapped away for some odd reason. The political decal is a good one. However, you are entitled to your own opinion

Sorry but the party decal is a well known fake.

Hi Doug, I missed that, but it looks like you and Frank are right. I checked the "Fake Decal" data base on GHW, and now I think the bird is questionable as well, as the graphics match several of the examples spot on. I was hoping the touch up on the swastika was radium paint, but it may have been applied to mask problems with the field on which the hakenkreuz is centered. On the examples in the GHW thread there are problems with the back ground behind the swastikas. I think I was hasty with my endorsement. Sorry, Jim G.

I agree Jim, the Adler is fake as well hence the paint to cover up the obvious problem with the pebbling which is the dead giveaway on this decal. Sorry to the poster but its an out and out fake no decal and I think even the liner has issues.
