wouldn't you just go to your wishlist?

Spanjaard
In that case I would ask to be able to filter by store there.... 😉
Let me explain. I have a large wishlist (most of us do), then I want to order something from a store, but then I want to use the chance to get some more stuff and save shipping cost. If I can not filter, I need to browse al the items they have available of my wishlist.... pretty long list. If I can filter, I can focus on specific stuff, and not browse it all

Spanjaard
In the wishlist, you see stores, but you also see everything else. Filtering by store in wishlist would also be interesting

Mainstream
I would also find that very helpful, to reduce shipping cost. 👍

Spanjaard
Great, thanks

bughunter
I believe to filter out all the "no more available" items is more important.

Boris B
Agreed to both suggestions.

I think this is implemented in the mean time:
when you visit a shop page (available when clicking on the logo of the shop = preferences) you will see all items from that shop which are also on your wishlist.

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat, of course!
(Perhaps the transparencies and propellers from this kit would work:
Soviet Tu-2 Bomber (HobbyBoss 80298, 1:72))

Thomas Kolb
Thank you Robert! The three-bladed standard propellers in the kit are actually fine, it is the transparencies I am a bit worried about.

Łukasz Gliński
Me 2, must watch this - wondering how good/bad this kit is

Dave Flitton
Watching!!

Me 3, this will be another great build to follow.

Me 5!
I still don't understand why they haven't released a more updated tool for this model yet.

Moreno Baruffini
Thomas, you are a specialist in reminding me the models I started and non finished (yet)! Super inspiring, and a great build to follow for sure!

Thomas Kolb
Dear friends, thank you for your interest. I am a bit curious myself how this model will turn out - I have read some pretty nasty things about it in reviews, but I am not sure it's so bad. It certainly looks very intricately designed, not your usual shake 'n' bake kit for sure.

Gergő Takács
Thomas, you are doing always the same project what I want to do in the future with the same kits. 😀 I'm always taking a seat and save your work for motivation.

Kyle DeHart
So many decals. Don't be alarmed by the missing hit of green on the air box. I stuck my big fat thumb on that and ripped it off. I do have a spare sheet of decals so I'll get that repaired.

George Williams
Sticky thumbs happen to the best of us. Nice work so far.

Marcel
That looks like a nice vintage Tamiya kit. Which driver version will you make? Looking forward to the final result.

Kyle DeHart
Thanks George! A ton of decals with this one means many opportunities to mess things up. I'll get it straightened out.

Thank you Marcel. I have to say this is really an excellent kit. Not fiddly at all, even the rear wing element gave me no issues. And it's a lovely car. As for the driver I believe I will go with Zanardi. I was never a fan of him as a driver but after his horrific accident and what he's done since has been most impressive.

Sarah-Jane
Coming along nicely, despite the thumb issue. I built this some years ago and also did a Lotus 107C from it, they're nice kits, model on

Kyle DeHart
Thank you! I wouldn't mind having the full lineup of 107s. I like how the car looks and it had some excellent period liveries. I agree. Nice kits. Thanks again!

Marcel
I like your choice. Alex wasn't great in F1 for some reason, though quite succesful in other series. But he has had some major accidents to recover from. Not just his racing accident, which he has handled remarkably well, but also a very severe cycling accident in 2020 and a fire at his house in 2022 which also left him hospitalized. I've read that he can communicate, but I'm afraid he's not made a full recovery at all from his cycling accident. Still a very tough and inspirational man.

Kyle DeHart
Yes indeed. My thoughts exactly Marcel. He was a remarkably talented driver despite the issues in F1. He came back with a vengeance following his horrific racing accident. And then the cycling accident and I had heard about the fire. He has gone through a lot and has at least attempted to come back and remain positive each time. So I felt it would be cool to have this model of his.

Kyle DeHart
Getting very close to the end now. An enjoyable build

Kyle DeHart
Last of the decals are complete, wheels and tires are dullcoted and the final paint and glue is drying. I'll try to wrap this up after work.

Marcel
Nice work with those decals. Looks great. 🙂

Boris B
Not at the moment, but it would be nice.

Spanjaard
indeed

Excellent !

Bren Sheehan
Nice! Thank you SCM.

This is available for private sales since today.

Spanjaard
Would be nice that if u have it in wishlist and somebody list is as for sale, you get notified. Maybe possible to choose to get notification or not in preferences (some have pretty large wishlist 😉 )

David
Agreed - otherwise it could be very spammy. But for ones you're really hunting down it would help!

Spanjaard
Most likely it will be notification for all in your wishlist or for nothing, but that will be for our webmaster to say 😉

Chester S. A. Reginald Berwick, Duke of ...
+1 for this, as suggested by Spanjaard:

Very nice! 👍

Gergő Takács
Thank you mates!

Jan Peters
Where did you find that big euro coin? 😁
Excellent job on the very small model! I thought I was looking at a 35th scale model at first!

gorby
Excellent work! I agree with Jan.

Łukasz Gliński
Brilliant 👍

Finn
Love the excellent weathering

Gergő Takács
Thank you for everyone! 🙂
