And I misspoke above saying, 'Lots of BF members...' - when the fact is only a few members have posted - and for varying personal reasons - and some are quite superb in their copying/painting/component details.
But a bad practice.
Not the restoring,... just labeling something it never was and never will be.
Except in an alibi addled mind, regardless of the illogic.
And again, just my humble opinion - your mileage may vary.
I think if there's a homage intended, the better practice would be to do a decal that indicates that -- e.g., make a pun of the brand's name or something.
It is something of an insult to Mr. Sachs' artistry to slap his name on something he'd be embarrassed by.
