Fake Tail Section and Swastika?

[Andy Saunders]

I think I am correct in saying that KG12's are "re-manufactured" from Russian Mig control column tops. Those I have seen have been (obviously) re-painted, had fake data plates applied and if one looks down inside the tube where the pole attaches a milled out groove or slot will be seen. This has been filled and rubbed down smooth on the outer surface, but the give-away is the roughly filled slot when you look inside. There are lots of these around, so beware!
