I was just wondering, what happened to the 'Fun Facts' page or is it undergoing Maintenance/re-construction?

Hey I just wanted Scalemates to know that the Tamiya 222 Afrika Corp kit that has a photo etched mesh and aluminum barrel has these items glued to the inside top part of the cover box topper.

I had to look everywhere, finally emailed the place I got it from and they couldn't find it either. They finally found it and laughed. So, that should be added to the description.

Piotr Mikołajski@scalemates
I see that the whole label Polskie Siły Powietrzne (Polish Air Forces 1940-1947) has been removed and the Polish squadrons (No. 300-309, 315-318, 663 plus a few Schools and Flights) are now displayed as part of the RAF. This is deeply untrue and contrary to historical facts. From the very beginning the Polish Air Force based in the UK was not part of the Royal Air Force. The same applied to army units and we have a separate label [Polskie Siły Zbrojne na Zachodzie (Polish Armed Forces In The West) (1940-1947)] for army units, which fortunately was not deleted.

I don't think this can be fixed with a few changes to the database, so I may change all of the entries manually. As I've done this once before and all that work was deleted, the main question remains - how to protect it so no one deletes it in a while?

Historically speaking there's no question that the foreign squadrons were international forces under RAF command. They didn't pledge allegiance to the King, they pledged it to their governments in exile, had their national insignia, decorations, and so on. It is true that the British were paying for all that, since these were the governments in exile, without their own means but that just makes it comparable to the lend lease arrangement. I'm not sure about other countries but since 1944, Polish Air Force was also separate in terms of command and administration. The same case was for Polish Navy for instance, which was given British destroyers, and operated under British command but was a national force. The British even had to alter their legal system to achieve creation of those forces, since it wouldn't be legally possible prior to 1940 while it was possible to enlist foreign people into British Armed Forces.

I get that this can be used for making nationalistic arguments, revision post-war order and what not, and that it can get heated, so I personally don't really think that anything but practicality should inform how these forces are categorized. And since the British were in charge of command, training, and logistics a good case can be made that these were organically part of the RAF even if not politically.

But I've seen here historical arguments being made that are simply incorrect and based on post-war status quo, which in many ways was hoaxed to serve a political goal of both appeasing the Soviet Union and giving the Germans a way out into becoming a western ally. Things like letting the generals (the worst possible historical source) write the history of world war 2 (and I don't only mean German generals but allied as well) and diminishing the role of nations that fell beyond the iron curtain. Even if this is aesthetically distasteful it is politically understandable so I don't want to judge that. But for purely historical reasons we need to be critical of that, especially that there is a significant effort among contemporary historians to debunk much of what was presented as fact those 70 years ago.

"anything but practicality"

I have written about the practicalities of factual compliance before. We are building a site here for modellers from all over the world to easily find the information they need. Historical and legal matters aside, let's start looking at this issue *from the perspective of the Scalemates user*.

We are talking about units from the armies of seven different countries. What practicality will there be in mixing them with British units?

• Is the user coming here to find out what the command or training structure was?
No. The user wants to find information about the model - what markings it has, from what country, what year and what theatre of operations.

• Will it be easier for a Scalemates user to find something?
No. Once the units of seven countries are mixed with the RAF, the information about the country the unit came from will disappear.

• Does this change improve Scalemates and make it more helpful for the end user?
No.

• Does maintaining separate information for each country require an extraordinary amount of technology or burden the service more?
No.

Thx John!

But please don't add "book" style sentences in title/subtitle fields

Eg. This is a more a sentence than a title
"Downloadable files to cut your own detail parts on Silhouette and Cricut cutters"

Thanks! I just want to make sure folks understand the the product is a digital file, not a physical aftermarket product. Could you recommend how I might do that without including it in the title? I'm happy to do so in any way you see fit and I'll update all our products accordingly—John
