Rebox or new tool?


Recommended Posts

Is a kit a new tool or a rebox from a kit from the 60's. A question every scale modeller asks at least a few times a year :)/> On www.scalemates.com you can see it at a glance. Here are some nice examples showing kit timelines. When you need more detailed info and look for a review, links to ARC and other review sites are linked as well.

We have this in a database with 150.000 kits, aftermarket sets, decals...

Hope it helps as a tool

Cheers,

Tim

Hi Tim

Do you have a quick link for members to send in corrections?

For example, how do I get the Eastern Express 1/72 Phantom moved from being a Revell re-release (which it is not) and get it moved over as a changed and re-released Hasegawa/AMT/Minicraft/etc kit? (which is what it is)

Also need to know how to add a kit, such as the Kitech F-4E to the 2nd generation 1/72 Hasegawa Phantom timeline

Hi Rex,

Scalemates is like Wikipedia, everybody can contribute including complementing or correcting the timelines.

Here are the easy steps to do it: When looking at the specific kit (in this case: Phantom 1:72 - Eastern Express

The timeline shows on the right hand side a link "edit timeline"

You can 1) Mark if it is a rebox or the release year. In this case, if you can be more specific than 200x. feel free to change it to the real year.

Linking kits or removing links is also easy. Just look in the list and click to add a link, or remove an existing link.

Everybody can add missing kits, below the timeline is already a link "add product". Otherwise in the contributor page you have the same options.

Hope this helps,

Tim
