Model scale
Just a suggestion for my own sake !
Would it be possible to include the scale of the model in the description in the downloads ? I can hardly see let alone build some of the models and I don't want to waste your bandwidth. Liz

Agree with you, since my 1st question after what is it is usually what scale is it.

I also support this idea.
Even though digital files are more or less easily converted to any desired scale (*), it would be a nice touch to know the scale of the model before downloading it. Some designers/uploaders take care of this and provide the information on the title. But there are many that don't. A specific entry about scale on the download description of the kit would be good. Not that I consider it essential or specially relevant. But since some modelers prefer certain scales, it can be helpful if it can be implemented. * paper size restrictions apply.

Just another thought.
If the scale was shown there would be fewer wasted downloads and this would reduce the bandwidth used by the site. Liz

I can see where this would be beneficial.
Now, how does one propose the forum to handle this? hound every designer to update their files? call them out on the open forum, send them tons of private messages? put all non conforming files into moderation so the designers have to fix their descriptions? does the forum need a cutoff limit( quickly approaching 3000 files) that once we pass that number all future downloads must include a scale? do the admins and mods fix all the files? or should the designer? the suggestion is a valid one, and one that I hadn't considered, but I need to know a/the path forward.
