When comparing to Iowa class in Vietnam war, it is strange for this fictional ship to still have all those type 96 AA guns, even it's solely for reusing the tooling.

Agreed, especially when the 25mm guns were already underperforming in WW2, youd expect them to have been swapped out first.

how would you react if someone made a german tank boxart with the Oradour-sur-Glane massacre in the background ? would you say "oh but unfortunatly it's reality"

@Mike Bird, using reality: This is a kit for a violent machine. The reality of these machines is used to create an image of them and then sell it. We buy the kit, build it, possibly combine it with a war diorama, and put it on the shelf. And then you get upset about the tank being depicted with a corresponding background (important: the child is apparently neither injured nor run over or shot at.)?
Are you also annoyed by the many covers with planes firing their weapons or another plane crashing in the background, burning?
I can't understand at the moment.

@Corentin D.: Differentiate? Is the child on the cover massacred, killed, shot, run over, or something similar?

I understand what you mean, but I don't get the gist of it.
It's about a child who is apparently neither injured nor being shot or anything else. And we're talking about a tank here. Tanks, in particular, symbolize only one thing: violence. And in my opinion, that doesn't get any better just because you put the tank in a meadow full of butterflies.
Regardless, I highly doubt that the kit will sell better just because of the choice of this cover.
