Airfix 02047-5: Fouga CM-170 Magister

Martin Oostrom
Welcome to the club!
If you use the search option and look for airfix 02047, you can find this kit: Fouga Magister (Airfix 02047-5, 1:72)
It is filled with all the information you are supplying. You can create a project and link the kit to it. Then you can add an album to your project and all the information will be combined. Saves you a lot of typing 😉 If you need help, just holler.

I recently buillt the new boxing Fouga Magister | Project by Mahoo76 (1:72)

I was able to creat a project. Not sure how to link the kit? Can you give me the steps?

Martin Oostrom
I see that you added the kit to your stash. To the right of the kit is a big +, click it once and you get to see menu. There should be 'Projects' in bold. Click that one. Now you can add the kit to an existing project, or create a new one.
Works the same for paints, aftermarket stuff etc. You can even add multiple kits to one project. You can also add multiple albums to one project.
Then there is also the option to add projects to a collection, but that might be for another day...

Happy hunting 👍

I think I'm slowly getting the hang of this. I have so much info that I kept tracked all these years of collecting. Sadly, they are only in my excel spreadsheet. I have detailed pictures of each and every kit I have and I want to share them so that folks can see what's inside (if seal is not broken) in case they are interested in acquiring it. These site is going to be a fun project for me. Thanks again for the tips!!!

Whenever you get to 2-star contributor, you can add pictures of sprues etc to kits. Prove to the admin that you're reliable enough in contributing and one day you'll get a second star

How do I do the proving? I mean I have a library just on jet books. That's going to be a separate project. I have references up the yazoo. I already saw a lot of mistakes when I was adding kits to my stash. Anyways, I will bid my time and just keep posting what I have. Maybe the Admin gods will see the light!

Martin Oostrom
Add to the database, correct mistakes (only if you're 1000% sure). Tim WILL notice. 👍

Roger that!

Hello Martin. So I created my first Collection and linked my 2 projects. Towards the bottom in the Linked Projects section, there is a cell to enter a number which is defaulted to 100. It is to the left of "view" What does this number represent?

Martin Oostrom
I hadn't really noticed that before. It's a sorting tool. The lower the number, the more the project will be at the top in the collection. 100 is default => alphabeticallly

Greg Baker
I hadn't noticed that either... I think it might've been implemented quietly after I set up my collections, but it's a handy dandy bit of info.

The New Guy is asking questions and we learn a thing or two 😄

I work in software so I pick up on these bugs and defects. Question everything! I have a few enhancemence to the website in mind, but that wont' be for sometime. I actually had a databse software I use to track my inverntory but it is not web based and not as powerful as this one. I have to say the dev guys did a great job on this website. There are a few performance issues I have come accross (lagging in the refresh rate). But really a great site! Cheers.
