I tried to make this kit Multi-topic so it would also link to the RX-78 Gundam, but it didn't seem to take. What did I do wrong?

How do I report links to reviews that are dead?

Ben, go to the kit page, scroll down to the review section. On the right upper corner of each review you can see a little pencil. Click on it - a menu comes up where you have some options like Broken link and more. Don't forget to press the Save button.
Have fun!

is a reboxing of Gundam Barbatos Lupus (Bandai Spirits 5055446, 1:144)

with new parts, but I can't seem to work out how to link the two.

They were under different topics, as a result they could not be linked. For every kit on Scalemates the correct topic must be selected, which is the subject depicted (In this case ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus). With Gundam and some other subjects a lot of the kits are miscategorized on their generic topic ("Gundam") or line rather than the actual subject. There's a nice big warning when entering a new kit to not do this but that doesn't seem to work all that well in practice.

This also applies to the other data suggestions you made, they will have to be cleaned up and categorized correctly manually. Maybe a system could be implemented where certain topics are "forbidden" from use and give a nice explanatory popup to prevent this?

SCM Topic: Junior 0-6-0 Diesel Shunter
Hi all, I would like to propose a name change to the above Topic. As a prototype I can't see any evidence of a 'Junior 0-6-0 Diesel Shunter' existing other than in connection to the fictional 'Thomas the Tank Engine' series, but the kits matched to the Topic currently all represent the following vehicle:
'204HP 0-6-0 Drewry Shunter'
which is what I propose the name be changed to.

I have already corrected some of the Topic info (eg manufacturer: Bachmann, who make models, to Drewry Car Co Ltd), and added the appropriate synonym (British Rail Class 04).

There is also a Wikipedia page for this vehicle, although this page uses its later TOPS name of 'British Rail Class 04' - is there any to link this page to the Topic as well?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_04

Happy to provide any further info if needed.

There seems to be no way to specify WW2 German reference materials into “Jagdgeschwader” ie JG

This is a fundamental element of book titles for reference materials by;

“Jagdgeschwader” or JG + number

At the moment I have “Wilde Sau” as a new addition under “Bf 109” which is incorrect as other aircraft used.

In fact the search engine suggests “Bf 109” when “Wilde Sau” is input

I believe this kit:

...is a duplicate of this:
Monitor & Merrimac (Lindberg 718, 1:210)
...but I can't report it as a duplicate from the bottom of the page, probably because it's a multi-topic.

Eduard issued kit no. 7083 (Bf-110E Profipack) as a new tool in 2012. In 2023 they issued a re-release of the same kit but with a new box and new decals but still used the original kit no. The latter kit is not currently in the Scalemates database. How does one resolve the duplicate kit number situation when entering the latter kit?

With Diecast Distributors Australia (DDA) now making a range of Australian cars as plastic kits, it has highlighted a lot of incorrect Topics as there were very few around when the existing Topics were created.

Should I just add new Topics and reclassify the products correctly, and then request deletion of redundant topics (given that Topics don't seem to be editable)?

I've just noticed that the book I added titled "Building the Airfix Sea King HU.5 in 1/48 Scale" has been removed. I reference it in my project at Westland Sea King HU.5 | Project by wellweathered (1:48). Can I find out why it was removed? I can add it again, but if there's something wrong with how it was added before, I'd like to know so I can get it right the next time 🙏

thx! it was merged to Book: Building the Airfix Sea King HU.5 in 1/48 Scale (by Geoff Coughlin) but it seems the project was not updated

'82 DeLorean DMC-12 (Aoshima 064351, 1:24) is NOT the Time Machine from "Back To The Future", it is just a regular Delorean car kit. It should NOT be multitopic, and I've removed the Time Machine topic from this kit. All 80's Deloreans are not Time Machines.

I still maintain that the non Time Machine version of the Delorean should not be a multi-topic including Time Machine, because it is not a Time Machine, it's just a regular Delorean car model. Regardless if the Time Machine kit starts out with the same base mold and sprues (it probably does) as the regular car kit, they should still be separate topics. If anything, it's the Time Machine kit which should be multi-topic, not the other way around.
21 August, 21:18
Spanjaard
I certainly agree with that 🙂 the question (I think) is if they can be in the same timeline, one being one topic and the other multi-topic. right now only the "time machine" one has a timeline. the other does not seem to have one. and both are single-topic. one as Delorean, the other as time machine. while the time machine should have both. anyway, i think now is in the hands of our webmaster 🙂

SCM Topic: L&YR-class 21 0-4-0ST
Topic for this series of kits is incorrect; should be 'L&YR Class 21 0-4-0ST' not 'LMS Kitson 0-4-0ST'
The LMS Kitson is a completely different locomotive with a shorter tank and coal bunker in front of the cab (not features of the kits nor of the L&YR Class 21) plus many other less obvious differences. As far as I'm aware, there are no plastic model kits available for the Kitson, certainly none that are as well known as the Kitmaster/Airfix/Dapol Pug kit.

See the Wikipedia entry for this topic/subject for confirmation of the original kit being based on the L&YR Class 21 locomotive, first full paragraph under Models section:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%26YR_Class_21

I have corrected the erroneous information on the topic page, but I am unable to correct the topic title.
