I noticed between the rendering of the model and the decal sheet that they changed USAF to USA and U.S. AIR FORCE to just AIR FORCE.

I've read that Estes would have to pay the guv a licensing fee to use the exact military markings, thus the modifications. Ridiculous, in my opinion.

It's a load of BS. US Military markings have been used for decades in all sorts of models and toys. There has been a precedent set by their decades long lack of action. The military has only recently started throwing around the threats of litigation. That doesn't even count the fact that citizens own the military via their tax dollars.
