I have not seen the plane up close to check the armament.  However from what I have read, it is a perfect restoration.  There is supposed to be a seminar before the flight and I will ask the pilot about the armament and some other things.   :)

Amazing, they are to put on a swastika with all the PC'ness around.

So it's a historical plane, like that'll stop the PC crowd.

I would be really dissapointed if they didn't put this plane in it's proper markings.

WWII happened and Nazi Germany was real.

Santa, all the German WWII planes I've seen in the US have the swastika.  It seems warbird aficionados are not a very PC crowd.   :D

The folks that go all out in restorations usually do extremely detailed research into the particular aircraft (serial number) involved. The get its entire history and all available photos of it during wartime service.

PC has nothing to do with it usually.

Historical accuracy does if the guy writing the check so decrees.
