Re: 'Kill' flag templates (MassVette)
Interesting concept. If you're trying to do the WWII aircraft style, they used the 2 Japanese flag (army= meatball & sunburst = imperial navy) ones you depict, but for the German aircraft, they used a black cross, shorter and thicker than the flag you show, with a small pinstripe in the "cut out" parts of the cross. If you want to do a flag, you'll have to use the red,yellow and black national flag. The flag you have is similar to Finland's aircraft of that period. Nice idea...

I saw a DeLorean DMC with a GM 350 crate in it at a car show last year. He had a bunch of Z/28, T/A and Mustang decals on his windows with red X's through them.

Not sure I could use one. Many ricers rev there engines when they are a safe distance away, but as of yet, not a one has had the cahunees to go for it. Now Mustangs, that's a different story. I can't even go on a nice quiet cruise without one of them wanting a go.

Thanks. I cut out the German cross like you said, leaving a white border around the perimeter. The proportion is adjusted so as to be harmonious with the Japanese flags. You can add the black pinstripe around the German insignia if you wish.
I prefer NOT to publish, OR display on my vehicle the real German WWII Luftwaffe insignia (Swastika) for obvious reasons.

Re: 'Kill' flag templates (MassVette)
Yea, I don't blame you on the swastika. It was displayed on the tail only as a sop to the *****. all insignia on the wings and fuselage were the standard Luftwaffe square crosses that are less offensive. Both "kill" symbols were used on Allied aircraft, as even then there were repercussions for using the swastika as a "kill" flag. It varied from unit to unit, depending on the CO.

Re: 'Kill' flag templates (Markm10431)
I would like a nice 5.0 emblem with a circle and red slash.
Or make that about 10 or more.
Remember -- 5 kills is all it takes to be an Ace. But the kills must be verified by another pilot.

Re: 'Kill' flag templates (MassVette)
I think you should do the german flag as the more familiar colored flags. Not many people will understand what the black cross is for.

I killed a few bugers and a load of fries on the way home. What do you guys think about putting The Ole Golden Arches on the back of my Vette? :D
