When i go to contribute page, I see the kits that i have that are missing instructions in the database. but for the looks of it, the page only shows first 15. every time I scan a new one and add it to the database, I see a new kit appearing in the page. It will help a lot if we can see the complete list and be able to pick several ones in one go (for example if you do not have them all in the same room)..... please correct the page to show them all. maybe a limit of 3000 or something, like when you see your stash, etc. that will not be a problem for most of us 😉 . if the query in the database makes that page slow, and you want to keep it fast for those that only want to add new kits, materials, tools etc, then show the 15 it does now, and add a button to show the rest for those who need it.

At the contribute page there is a list of Missing Instruction sheets. Would it be possible to have a button there that shows all current items in your stash missing the instruction sheets, like a "show all"? In my case some listed in the current format are temporary unavailable like being in storage, a button as suggested might yield some entries requiring a manual to be uploaded since they would be available to me at the time. Not to mention uploading of manuals should get some more active encouragement since one of the displayed kits in my list missing a manual had 63 members having it in their stash and nobody uploaded it. I am targeting to do 1 a day but soon I will be running out of easy targets because I have no overview of missing manuals that are in my stash, only the ones provided in the list under the contribute tag. Thank you for considering.

Hello,
When on an item page, if this item has been used in a lot of project, only a limited amount of projects are displayed (9-10). Could we add a "Show all projects" or "All projects" button like we have for other parts of any item page?
Thanks in advance.

Many Airfix quick build products are listed here, which are not truly scale models but "Lego"-esque.

What about products from Cobi who offer many more, and arguably better/more relevant, products than Airfix?

I have a question about some type of reboxed kit.

When another maker reboxes the original kit, they should use the same mold and produce the same runner as the original. However, the decals don't need to be the same. In the recent Academy reboxed kits, which originated from Zvezda, Academy includes very similar but different decals made in Korea.

- The same decal parts and the same decal instructions
- Moved each decal part for better productivity.
- Different decal printers with different characteristics, such as thickness, flexibility, adhesion strength, activation time, and color of the release paper.

If it is a game, it is not a remake game, but a remastered game.

When I added new kits, I used "Reboxed/Changed decals" instead of "Reboxed/Changed box only." I think neither of them are clear for the Academy cases. I would say that the new decals are significantly better than the old Zvezda decals, but they are fundamentally the same shaped and colored decals. Only workability is different. What do you think about the categories?

On builds with more or longer comments, it can take a while to reach the most recent comment. We already have a ‘go to top’ button. It would be nice to have it’s sister ‘go to bottom’ as well.

When editing a color there is a green button "Pick color from screen" that either does not work or it works in a way I don't understand. Currently I use Instant Eyedropper but the output cannot be pasted directly in the 3 RGB fields but I have to do that manually. Output generated is 61, 74, 48 . So comma seperated with a space. Also has option for TAB separated and ENTER separated. None work to fill in the 3 RGB fields with 1 click. Could you please make the green button "Pick color from screen" functional or change the input so it accepts one of the formats generated by Instant Eyedropper. Thank you for help.

Would love to see a feature where we would get a notification when a new item is added to the system that is related to an item in my stash. For example, I would love to be notified when a new canopy mask is added to the database for an older kit that I currently have listed as in my stash.

Is it possible to include a switch for the 'News Feed', where 'owns this item', ' wants this item', 'marks this item as ...' can be filtered out?
Thanks a lot Thomas

The "Author" tag doesn't appear on Feature requests threads. It feels useful in this context too.

personal comments added to kits can only be added when you have them in stash, on order etc, but not in wishlist. a comment can be added moving the item to stash, but then it is not visible when moved back to wishlist. when back to stash, on order etc, the comment appears again. I understand that in whishlist the state may not make much sense, but then the comments should be made available when in wishlist status. and it will be great if the comments are visible when looking at wishlist/on order/stash views. for example i can have several items in wishlist, and add comments about which is is more interesting or addecuate, but currently I can only see them when i enter the details of each kit. this could be something that is enabled disabled for each user since many people may not use the personal comments.

if I click to edit a comment on mobile version, if i have more tha a couple of words, I can only edit part of the comment. the box continues to the right and it is ot possible to reach the part that falls out of the screen..... only option is to turn the screen, so I can see it all
when you enter a comment, it is ok, you see several lines. but if you try to edit, then you can not.

Spanjaard » Feature requests
in the stash statistics, we can filter by completed, etc. It will be great to have filter for full kits, detail sets, paints, books.... maybe as a second line of buttons. and in any case, thanks for all the hard work!!!

Hi, thanks a lot for your great website, so wonderful for our hobby!
So a suggestion about paints:
Would be nice to be able to make difference between old and new reference of Vallejo paints. There's now new Game / Model and Model Air with new formula but same reference. I got a lot of "double" (one old, one new) to make some test. Would be great to add maybe a "N" to notice it's "new" ones and/or "O" for "old reference" 🙂
Regards!

Is it possible to suppress generation of smileys in comments, if this is a link? Or is it possible to mark this as code somehow manually?
If I put a link to wikipedia for example the link gets destroyed: commons.wikimedia.or..ry🤔imson_Duo

Is there any possibility / setting to exclude "owns this item" entries from being listed in the "News Feed"?
(rem: as a reader and not the person having it at the individual "Wall")

if not (could not fine one); would it be possible to add that feature e.g. as "Popular filter" in the "Preferences - News Feed" section?

Would it been possible to add some description about the "Mates" and "Follow" to the FAQ?
Mates is clear, but the Follow feature does nothing at the moment, at least I do not see anything.
Thank you very much!

The "Author" tag on comment threads doesn't appear when not logged in. It feels like this is useful regardless of whether the user is logged in.

See imgur.com/a/rSxJBVz for an example of the same thread logged in vs logged out. (screenshot generated with SCM Newsfeed)

Is there actually a dark mode for the website? If so I can’t see where to select it, and if not, we really should have had that by now.

I’m confused about spammer reporting.
Someone reported an obvious spammer so I went to the vote page and I definitely clicked on ‘YES, this is a spammer’.
Then it showed:
1 or more users said this is OK
1 or more users said this is a Spammer.
Which makes it look like my vote was registered as ‘Not a spammer’.
What’s going on?


Incidentally – minor issue. ‘1 ore more…’ should read ‘1 or more...’

Some multi-kit reboxings have an older kit mated with new-tool kit. Here is an example (the Opel Blitz was a new tooling):
HS-129 and Kfz. 305 3 Tons Truck (Supermodel 10-502, 1:48)

Would it be possible to have a separate entry in the History to indicate this ? It's more accurate, but it would also allow further reboxings of the new-tool kit to be accurately connected. In this case, the Opel Blitz kit was later reboxed by Italeri and Tamiya:
Kfz. 305 3 ton. Truck (Italeri 6606, 1:48)
3-ton 4x2 Cargo Truck Kfz. 305 (Tamiya 89782, 1:48)

On he very left side, among the various search result refinements, there should be a feature that can refine search results between "plastic spruce", "form-pressed plastic sheet", "resin", "paper", and a few others.

2
An option to refine search results by checking" available for purchase" and "no one offers it right now".

When I search for kits, once I select "Kits", when screen refreshes, the label is switched to "Utensils", though all works like it should for "Kits"

The kit "Death Star II & Star Destroyer" the scale is correctly recorded as "1:2700000" but it displays as "1:27000" which is misleading. Also, it's a multi-kit set, the other kit has a different scale, can that be recorded somewhere? Also also, with multi-kit sets, it doesn't seem possible to link back to any original single-kit set(s) in the timeline?

When you click 'my' on the home page to see your custom scale or favourite topic hot picks goes blank and doesn't show any kits till you go back to 'all'. For instance mine is set to 1:24 and I have Cars favourited in my settings. I can remember it working but it's been quite a while.

In the "Add missing data" section of SCM Contributor Page maybe add a stand-out reminder/request to search the database for your item before adding it? There are a lot of incorrect duplicate entries in the database, probably because people simply don't check first to see if their item already exists before they proceed to add it. Having such a reminder/request could help cut down on the quantity of duplicate items added.

Hi Tim, I just merged two entries for the 1:72 Toko P-63C and the deleted one had an instructions manual that does not seem to have carried over to the good one. Is that normal ? Should we transfer instructions manual by hand, or can it be automated ? B.

I don't know why, but many of the photos I had in my albums in portrait position are now rotated and displayed in landscape position.

Strange enough, when I go to the Advanced options, the thumbnails on the left that should show the photos portraited in the album, display the photos the right way, they were initially.

In other words, this left thumbnail is not coherent with what the album is now presenting, which further complicates the arrangement and chosing from the remaining 3 thumbnails presented on the right side becouse none present the the correct initial positioning.

Maybe instead of showing more 3 thumbnails on the right, a clockwise or a conterclokwise rotation button, would be easier to manage and should save some space ? 🤔

After adding a stashed kit to a project (via + menu, select a project, Add) the little "return..." in upper right corner do not work.

i was checking something on my projects, and when filtering i saw a project that appeared as started in 1995 but appeared (as when you check the filters) as not completed. when i edited the project, i saw that although marked as completed, since there was no end date, it was still appearing as not completed in regards to filters. see what i mean at hetspanjaard when i added the end date, and filtered again, filter was showing one project, and status completed. i have deleted the end date again, so you can check. i believe that if a project is marked as completed, it should be completed regardless of the dates.
