SmokeThey 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?

Adrian ForestIt's frustrating that these items are so often miscategorised in this way, but it's easy enough to see why it happens: the hierarchy of
Media Property (Gundam) -> Specific Line (HGIBO) -> Topic (Gundam Barbatos) -> Subject (Gundam Barbatos Lupus)
contains important information that's lost in the current hierarchy of data.

Adrian ForestThis is especially relevant for the Build series of lines, which almost always use parts from existing kits, and in most cases are almost entirely the parts of an existing kit with new parts added. It's also relevant for lines that use one or more common base parts, like the HGIBO line that heavily reuses parts first introduced with the HG Gundam Barbatos Gundam Barbatos (Bandai 0201873, 1:144)
The Barbatos Lupus kit is currently listed as being a New Tool kit, but it would be far more accurate and useful to listed it as a rebox of the original Barbatos kit with new parts, which is not currently possible.

Ben MWow, this is fantastic! The hammered metal on the nose is amazing. I love all the wood textures. How did you paint the wing ribs?

CaptGPFExcellent build all around - from the tank, the crew and the dusty feeling I get just by looking at it!
