well, you can search by barcode. you only need to type it 😉
for example if you search for 6947917000010 you get the two kits that seem to have it SCM Search: 6947917000010 (two boxings of the same kit)
of course it is possible that not all kits have the barcode entered in the database.

Yeah I know I can enter barcode numbers manually but I thought maybe mobile page of SCM can read barcodes automatically from the camera since I'm lazy 😁

Spanjaard
I would be a nice addition, no doubt 🙂

scalemates
Early concept (and it works only on my desktop, not yet on my phone)

But the moment your camera detects a barcode, it will automatically do a lookup in the database and display your "manage stash" links

i tried, but it did not "see" the barcodes I tried. it only wanted yo use front camera, I could not change to back camera. using android phone

scalemates
should now be back-camera if available

Spanjaard
back camera works now. but i can not recognize barcodes. it simply stays there, showing the image, but not doing anything.
if i am too close, barcode is out of focus. when camera placed further way, barcode is focus, but it is a very small part of the window. not sure if that makes a difference.

Spanjaard
well, it looks similar to your example SCM Newsfeed , so i guess that is ok.

scalemates
Barcode should definitely not be full screen.

the moment it detects one (even for just a bit it should capture it)

I can test on Android later today

scalemates
Confirmed it does not work on Android!

I also does not work on Safari (iphone)

First "batch" of components ready for primer

Alec K
Cool! Very promising start, taking a seat 👍

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Welcome and thanks for your motivating words @Alec . First time I use something 3D printed and until now I enjoy it ☺️

Nicolas
Looks great so far.

Rui
I'm in 👍

DerMattes
Promising start, watching!

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Welcome @Nicolas, @ Rui and @DerMattes - thanks for your interest in this build 😊

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
A small update here ... engine took my a while to get fitted in the fuselage. Didn´t work precisely enough so I got paid off when I tried to put the engine in. Anyway I solved it somehow without any major visible impact.

I gotta. say that I really appreciated there build posts that people share; its a real treat to see a bunch of plastic and such come together into a masterpiece! I learn so much from watchings.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Welcome @Skyhiker - thanks for your interest on this build @Rui thanks for your kind words, even if I don´t think that anybody can learn much from my work .... but this is exactly what this stunning community is for ... I learned so much from people´s builds here ...

Neuling
How can you handle these tiny parts .... amazing

Alec K
Glad you solved the hurdle. Any ideas why the engine did not fit, or what the issue was?

Bruce Huxtable
1:72? I would have trouble with those tiny PE part of it were 1:32!! Well done on your precise work.

J35J
Great work Thomas!
Really impressed of your clean build and how you apply thiny amount of glue on all delicate small PE parts without creating a mess.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
thank you all for your kind words - I really appreciate that and this motivates me to constantly push myself out of the comfort zone .... thanks thanks thanks!!!! @Neuling: I know your skills so I´m really glad you came around my build: the answer is patience and a glass of good wine 😆 @Alec: as you can see the engine comes in a lot of tine parts and I didn´t pay enough attention when removing the print support and grinding the parts down properly. This resulted in a too long engine assembly. Lucky my I always spend a lot of time on dry-fits so I recognized it before starting to glue it in. Almost complete front end is made of printed parts and slightest deviations result that engine cowlings won´t fit together. Not a must to have them completely align when you show them open but I want to paint the all in one and then open the cowlings once done ...

Neuling
Thomas, will a glass of beer do ? 🙂

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
@Neuling … who drinks beer in glasses? 😂 but I guess it will work

Neuling
🙂

Alec K
Thanks Thomas 👍. Ehm, I need glasses to find the beer… 😄

Trez Mackenzie
What was the cause of engine fitting? I have just got the engine pack. Any advice?

Ah, I read your previous post. It seems that most folk seem to buy these things as an aesthetic object so hats off for taking this on!

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
@Trez: as you may have seen in previous comments, the most important thing is to really carefully sand all components down. Tend to say do a little more. There are many components coming together (assembled engine itself, manually modified fuselage, printed cowlings, ... ) and should fit properly in the end to avoid any gaps or twists in the final assembly. I think it would be tricky even in bigger scale. 1/72 scale has no mercy in this complex assembly of the plane front end. I managed it, but didn´t upload any pictures here so stay tuned 😊

Sergej I
Following! 👍, great job with cockpit and engine so far.
I have the exact same setup for an F-8 Würger in the shelf 🙂

Trez Mackenzie
Thanks Thomas, I look forward to the fots

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
@Trez: I will share some when I´m back - currently traveling and far away from my bench. @Sergej: thanks for your positive feedback, I hope my experiences on this build help to make yours a little bit more straight forward 😆

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
After a longer break on this I was finally able to restart on this build. Main engine components placed in fuselage, rivets added (as much as possible on this scale) and hydraulic tubes adde to landing gear. Now a bit of tedious work ... sanding and preparation for primer. Not much but in tricky places.

Frank Brzobohaty
Great job, not the easiest in 1:72 scale is it Thomas? but it is rewarding when completed!

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Thanks @Frank!! Indeed it was a challange, especially when working with these resin parts for the first time. But as you say, I hope it will be rewarding once the Würger is done 🤷‍♂️

Juergen Klinglhuber
Looking good - realy looking forward to see the finished bird.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Thanks @Jürgen. Working on the main paints already … German camouflage in 1/72 is a challenge 🤣

Shar Dipree
Looks fantastic so far. 👍👍👍
What did you use to prime the plane?

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Many thanks @Shar! Appreciate it. I used the one and only (for me) Mr. Surfacer 1500.

Shar Dipree
Yes, I like to use that too (Mr. Surfacer ). What gun, nozzle size and pressure do you spray with?

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Good choice 👍 I apply the primer with a H&S Evolution, 0.4mm nozzle and about 1-1.2bar pressure. Thinning ratio about 40/60

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
Last weeks I was fighting ... fighting with myself to keep this model from trashing it. Almost by accident I learned that I planned to build it not historically correct. This plane didn't have cowling MG's, but everything was planned to display them. So I had to make a decision and decided to go historical correct and change parts on an almost completely painted model.
It was a fight in 1/72 ... some imperfections I successfully ignored in earlier building stages now payd off and made it really hard for me. It's not perfect yet and it won't be perfect ever, but I have some ideas to improve the remaining imperfections.
Definitely not a competition model anymore...

Trez Mackenzie
The one thing that is always gained is experience. That will come in handy for the next build and so on!
I would encourage you to get this bird over the finish line! 🫡

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)
@Trez: fully agree - and from this build I learned A LOT … I will finish this build for sure … some small corrections on misleading edges to be done and then I can go on with touch ups and clear coat to let the fun begin - decals and weathering 💪

Skyhiker
This kit looks pretty decent. It seems a lot better than the Revell kit. Were there any problem areas?

Robert Podkoński
Great job! Certainly needs to be a part of a winter diorama...

1117
Thanks Robert!

CaptGPF
Beautiful! Love the patches of snow on the tank!

Spanjaard
wow, I certainly agree with Robert Podkoński and CaptGPF

gorby
WOW fabulous!

Mr James
Agree with with Capt GPF
