I really like Tin Tin. I’ve got all albums, some actually twice or threefold as i also have a few interesting foreign-language albums (Russian, Chinese, Catalonean) and a few original black/white ones, as more albums (i believe up to Otokar’s Sceptre) were originally drawn in black and white. All except ‘Tintin in the country of the Soviets’ were then redrawn, the one being omitted was concidered not politically correct anymore… which, if you’ve read ‘Tintin in the Congo’ might be hard to imagine.
Hergé was definately an interesting character, and might well have been more of a far right-winged conservative catholic with fascist tendencies then he has suggested all of his post-WW2 life. Definately, up to ‘The Blue Lotus’ the Tintin albums are of a pretty xenophobic if not racist signature: the Soviets are ugly, dumb, backstabbing people, the Africans are ugly, dumb people, American Indians were vile, backstabbing, violent and unhospitable people, and in the original version of ‘The Pharao’s Cigars’ the evil shopkeepers and the even more evil businessman Rastapopoulos looks awkwardly Jewish.
Suffice to say that the Hergé heirs are a bunch of hypocritical ********s. The rights on everything Hergé drew are with them and kept with upmost stubbornness, as ‘the character died with it’s creator’. Which does not stop them to ask incredible prices for Tintin-gadgets.
Buy Tintin counterfeit!

You know, you are such an incredible whiner. The only reason you like the P-40 is because it was the only fighter to fly combat missions for both Axis and Allies.
87-0801 had the same low-viz grey paintjob as the F-15 or Korean F-16s: light grey overall, with slightly darker patches on the larger upper areas.
Nothing Naval about that, unless you consider F-15s to be naval.
