Re: Fake Tail Section and Swastika?
I would say a fake.
For all of the reasons you state!
It certainly is not Junkers 87, either, just to rule that out, as I have a genuine one on my office wall.
There is a lot of money in swastika panels and there are many forgeries out there. I have seen some quite good ones, but they always fall down for being on entirely spurious metal panels. Generally, the rivet lines and panel joints don't match any known German aircraft and the reverse (usually) reveals the truth that this is from a non-German aircraft. I have even seen bits of Cessna 172's used in the past! The type of paint and paint running through tears and rivet holes into the reverse are obvious clues on some.
Sorry, but this 'aint the real deal.
