Modeling Israel vs Hamas War

 Modern wars are very difficult to model, on the one hand, practically no manufacturer makes modern equipment, modern soldiers, hardware with modern insignia, weapons, etc. Well, there is an exception, the Russia-Ukraine War can be modeled, because they are using ancient weapons, the Russians even took their old T-54s from the museums and in the emergency, the Ukrainians even used the T-34s from the monuments.

In the case of Israel's war against Hamas, it will be more complicated, because those in Hamas are very well equipped, with the most modern Russian weapons, but their uniforms are somewhat informal, more similar to those of a ninja than to the of a regular soldier, on the other hand, there are figures of Israeli soldiers, but from the Yom Kippur era.

And to finish grinding it, with the revolution of the language of the wokes (which translates as depraved or perverted, not as progressive), now you have to give the bad things nice names, otherwise you are a phobic in some way, so Now the new definitions imply that the following images must be associated with the new words:

New definition of Child:

Note the Russian weapons, AK-74, shaped charge RPG, IR markers and sights, weapons from the most modern of the Russian arsenals..

New definition of Israeli Soldier:

Note the evil "colonialism" in the eyes of this soldier, that is why those from Hamas executed them.

The problem is that if we want to make a model of the attacks, we would have to make the soldiers headless, and add a lot of gore, something that we modelers do not usually do, because in general it is considered in bad taste, unless you are a woke and consider that evil can always be justified

Assembling the Spitfire Israel

I finally got a Starfix Spitfire, only it's 1/48, a scale I don't usually build, I bought it for a price, which I assumed was a 1/72 model, and since it came in a box the same size as the P-51 and the A-4 of that Jewish brand, I assumed it would also be on that scale, they cost the same, but no, it's bigger.

I like to assemble planes of one nationality, with models of the same nationality, so this model was meant to be painted as an IDF/AF Spitfire Mk IX, during the War of Independence; the model is level 2, very simple, so much so that the wings come in one piece, it is not a pirated copy of the Airfix one, but something similar to an upscale of the old model in 1/72 of the Mk IX of that brand, the Plane represents a Mk VIII, but it's easy to fix, doesn't have a decent interior, and the decals are for a generic RAF plane

The main parts

Already painted with the basic colors and the interior of the cabin built with scratch

The model is almost complete, it lacks paint in some details.
