aviate1138, I would hope that the folks building their scale replicas agree with you.
But there are some out there who insist that an aeroplane is something which it is not. I once encountered some pilot in the USA who insisted that the ex-Luftwaffe Piaggio P149D trainer he owned was a 'Focke-Wulf warbird'.....
OK, it might have been licence built by Focke-Wulf GmbH, but a mid-1950s trainer is hardly a 'warbird'. Which is a silly expression in any case!
