I just spoted the #1 of 50 Tulagi Hellcat on Ebay. Can't wait to order on the Airstrike site.
I really like the rarity of this Hellcat paint scheme. ETO Hellcat was in realative obscurity to me untill earlier this last week, thanks to Airstrike.
Cool stuff for summer purchases.

Gotta hand it to Chunks. I hit enter to list the plane on ebay, got up, fixed a cup of coffee, came back and Chunks had already placed the 1st bid.
Lexington should be done this weekend.

I noticed the German kill marking have been "edited by ebay"on the listing.

Yes, just the photo though... eBay didn't edit it, I did. Since US eBay listings can be viewed in Germany, a listed item cannot have the swastika in the listing since it is illegal there. They will delete the listing and possibly ban the seller over it.

I wouldn't do that, ebay considers that worse than going ahead and showing the swastika, take it from me, have had PLENTY of auctions closed for blotting out the swas'. Some no life, bleeding heart, no buyin', pos will report it if they see it.
That is if ebay doesn't see it first. Just some advice, hopefully it flies (no pun intended)..

Swastika was never a problem on ebay till some French lawyer saw dollar signs...
The fact French citizens were buying nazi items on ebay...illegally, caused us here in a "free" country to longer trade nazi stuff there either.
JMO but I'd left it alone, the pic above still shows the kills.
