Get a grip. It's to model vehicles captured by ISIS. Do you go off the deep end when you see models of WW II German equipment depicting swastikas, Soviet models with the hammer and sickle or Japanese stuff with big red meatballs? Jeez....

Well, they make detail stuff for German military vehicles, and Germany was very much the "enemy" at one time...if you recall.

Maybe the ISIS flags aren't so much to "glamorize" the organization, as to make available to modelers of contemporary military engagements flags to identify the enemy by. After all, they fly their flag on just about every vehicle (a lot of Toyota and Nissan pickups).

And speaking of contemporary military engagements...there are some really bizarre improvised weapons in that part of the world. Very Mad Max, and some look to be quite well made.

The improvisations are interesting. All those pickups with recoilless rifles and and other heavy weapons mounted on the rear are referred to as "technicals".

yes, I sent them an email but have not heard back.

I'm sure Woody will get over losing your patronage. Just wondering, do you boycott decal manufacturers that make Stars and Bars?

The "stars and bars" is the Confederate flag. Considered to be the "enemy" of the United States at the time. Also considered by many to be a symbol of intolerance, bigotry, and violence towards minorities.

And how the hell do you draw the conclusion Joe supports ISIS?
