And it looks kind of ww2 german to me. Do they copied from some emblem?

I like some of their songs and thought it’d be cool to put it on a fighter.
Maybe there’s a decal that I can modify. I guess I can make the letters with red decal stripes.
any help will be appreciated.

It looks very much like a Roman Eagle from their legionaire standards.

Which of course were heavily copied by Hitler during WWII so I suppose you are correct.

Im sure there must be some WWII version decals out there…

I don’t know what it looks like but I can tell yo where to go to have some made. I use Fighting Pirannha Decals. They make very thin decals for gaming figures. If you contact them they can tell you what you have to do. They’ll need a copy of the design and size. You’ll have to pay a set-up fee but their work is good. I’ve had several special decals made by them. You’ll have to trim the decals because they use full sheet material instead of seperate decals like some.
