IMPORTANT: DO NOT UPLOAD boxart pictures which (partially) contain a real photo of the original!!!
Even when they come from the brand website
----
I was wondering why is it that way. I can understand copyright issues with some newer photos. So do the manufacturers apparently, because they do not use unlicensed photos. Now what if the "boxart" with real photo comes directly from manufacturers' catalogue, with some corporate graphic and subject description added? The real photo is of some WWII subject or older and is in public domain. Such uploaded boxarts are still being removed.
Why is it that way?

Chester S. A. Reginald Berwick, Duke of ...Removed, so far so good. 👍
Now what to do with boxarts like this one?
F-4EJ Kai Phantom II `302SQ ..om)´ (Hasegawa 07476, 1:48)
There are hundreds of boxarts like this on Hasegawa's kits, but also other manufacturers' like Fujimi or Revell to name a few. I expect to be many hundreds or even a few thousands of boxarts like these there. Should these be removed? I don't think so. Are these images consistent with the warning pasted above? Definitely not.

SCM Data suggestionsLooks like I am now part of Papermates also? Cool, but how come my Scalemates albums and collections show up there?

SCM Data suggestionsDubena Cesky Dub No. 3228 Esso Tanker originally was C.F. Riegel Esso Tanker from the early 1960s. Dubena even uses the same box art, with slightly different colours. So the description "New tool 1975" at Dubena 3228 kit should be updated to "Reissue"

Alec KThanks for that correction Axel. I have updated as suggested. Let me know if you have exact release date and I'll update it.

SCM Data suggestionsThis evening I will post pictures of Flanders Modelling Festival, but a new event page for the 2024 edition is not created. It's just the same page with another date added. Therefore I won't be able to separate the pictures I will make from the ones I made in 2023, because the album needs to have the exact name of the event page, and that wasn't copied to a new edition. I might be able to make another album with the same name (didn't try that before), but you won't be able to tell which album is for which edition.
Flanders' Modelling Festival (16. Marzec, Hoboken (Antwerpen) BE)15 March, 23:52
Steven Van DyckBecause there was no alternative, I changed the name of the earlier album to "Flanders' Modelling Festival 2023" and made a new album "Flanders' Modelling Festival". I still hope some arrangement can be made that the first album remains on the page with the correct edition year shown near the new album.

SCM Data suggestionsThese items don't seem to exist in the real world. The product numbers are all prefixed with TBA (to be announced) followed by a year (2022). I've searched the Eduard website and there is nothing there to indicate these are real kits. The kits listed on their site for A6M2, A6M3, A6M5, A6M7 are already in the database.

Bart Goesaertjus a quick question. Since recently, when posting pictures I can only see part of the picture, while before the picture was made to fit the window. I don't know when you see the same when looking at others albums? It is like this in the tumbnails, but also on my wall.

scalematesThis is a though one.....
All 3 examples of ships = 100% RC, not scalemates (primary goal is RC, details are rudimentary, no aftermarket sets exist, brands mostly not known by plastic modellers.)
The 1:16 RC Tigers = of course RC, but also scalemates as many pure scale modeling aftermarket sets exists
Panzerkampfwagen VI "Tiger I..) AusfB (Tamiya 56004, 1:16)
If in doubt mark them for both and post them on in Data Suggestions so we can discuss....

Mike PullenI've just spotted how to move them. Very easy, well done Tim

SCM Data suggestionsHi! Yesterday, someone listed two Peels and two Toyotas 1/24 as manufacturer "Unknown". The manufacturer is Zoomon Model and at least the Peels (Peel Trident 1965 #Z137 and Peel 50 1962 #Z130) are already listed.

SCM Data suggestionsscalematesrcmates.net was added yesterday and
railwaymates.com has been reactivated today
rcmates (RCM) contains 4000 items (most of them moved over from SCM)
railwaymates (RWM) contains 50000 items (many items are visible on both. eg. 1:87 kit of a tank = fits both sites. Please note it is the same entry in the database. WHile even more only on RWM)
Powercontributors can see an additional section 'Scope'; which allows to see where items are displayed.

SCM Data suggestionsThoughts on adding SpinMaster cardstock models? I was looking to add the Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer to my stash and noticed that we don't have any of that brand in the site. Since the Metal Earth kits are on the site, the site doesn't seem to be limited to just plastic models.

RichmondThanks for clarification, it does make sense to allow some RC kits based on your explanation.
May have to look in on diecast mates for nostalgia purposes.
20 February, 00:07
scalematesPlease check
www.rcmates.net
RC items on either scalemates or diecastmates should be visible only on rcmates.net
For an RC model which is based on a real kit (eg. the 5 rebox now including an RC engine) can be linked to both

SCM Data suggestionsPlease can we amend this subject line
20 mm/70 Mk.4 (single mount)
to
20 mm/70 (Mk.4 single mount)
It will not let me change it and keeps reverting to the incorrect version.

scalematesrenamed Escort carrier Attacker-class, but no opinion if they should be merged
26 January, 19:40
Eddie MannI would say merge them as "11 transferring to the Royal Navy, where they were renamed and grouped as the Attacker class"
