I think the swissair dc-10 has the wrong part #. I believe it is IFDC100511

Hello, part number HC-031 is listed twice in the database (as ID 20792 and 26497). It appears the source of the confusion is that there are 2 registrations printed on the model. N6934C and PH-LLA. The card lists it as "N6934C, later PH-LLA." Evidently the US reg was the pre-delivery testing registration. Honestly I'm not sure what would be the best way to list the registration, but either way I'd say the 2 entries should be combined.

Fixed 3/19. Now under original listing 20792.

ID #68746, pls. change the registration to HS-UTN instead of HS-TUN
ID #67795, pls. change the registration to D-ABUE instead of D-ABUF

Missing in DB :
- Swiss International Airlines B777-300ER HB-JNA and HB-JNB, Phoenix 1:400 (see W900 db ID #36584 and 36585)
- United States Air Force, F4U-1D Corsair, Registration : 167, Forces Of Valor, 1:72
I can upload photos, when the models are in the db


Thank you :)

Both registrations corrected 3/19. For any new models please use the submit a model feature.

I believe the Registration Number for

Added 3/19.

this JC Wings Lockheed P3 http://www.diecastmodelaircraft.com/...4#.VQSxP-Hpx6I is actually 1:400, not 1:200.

And how can I search for Orions in the DB ? The model above is listed as "Lockheed P-3C-III Orion" but the drop down list of a/c type has no "Lockheed P3...", no "P-3..." and no "Orion".

Corrected 3/19. Look under L-188 Electra for P-3s.

I have submitted my ANA 1/400 GSE blue GSE40075. Is it listed yet? Is it a Hogan item?

Herpa announced the release of 1:500 stands #521024 (btw this item seems to be in the database, but is invisible - the auto-complete knows it but no records are returned in an actual search).

They also announced that select models will be equipped with a matching belly recess. Shouldn't this feature be mentioned in the database?

As far as I know, the following models have a belly recess:

- Airbus A400M #527040
- Air China 74H #527040
- Turkish 77W #527330
- Emirates 77W #518277-002

There may be more, I may be wrong on #3 and #4... what does everyone think about adding this to the notes section of the database?

521024 is live and is ID 69909

Error: Wrong name: "Erlangen" (see database), right name "Magdeburg" (see photo in database)

Sterling Caravelle http://www.wafflecollectibles.com/14...ravelle_oy-ste is not in the db

When I search for Swissair DC-7 https://www.diecastmodelaircraft.com...&aircraft=DC-7
I get 3 results, and all 3 are DC-7C. But when I search for DC-7C I get only one model
https://www.diecastmodelaircraft.com...aircraft=DC-7C

Issued now fixed.

Another question : I submitted a model about one week ago, but it's not in the db yet, also no email telling me if it is accepted or rejected. For my photo submissions I always get an 'accepted' notification after a few days. Do you send notifications for submitted models ? And how long does it take usually ?

[joszi]

How many models are 'hidden' in the db ?
I think there's a problem somewhere in the db. Recently I posted about the Swissair DC-7Cs that couldn't be found by searching for DC-7C, then the Sterling Caravelle that was there but couldn't be found by searching Sterling and also not by searching all Caravelles and not even by searching the registration
Today I searched for UTAir : http://www.diecastmodelaircraft.com/...?airline=UTAir
The result is one 1:500 TU-134 (Edit : actually 11 with the above link, please read my first Edit below)
But I wondered where are all the others, the JC Wings 767 in 1:400 and two ATR72 in 1:200 and voila, when I search by registration they are there :
the 767 : http://www.diecastmodelaircraft.com/db/model/69805
the ATR72s : http://www.diecastmodelaircraft.com/db/model/70361

http://www.diecastmodelaircraft.com/db/model/70360

And there is also a Herpa 1:200 Helicopter : http://www.diecastmodelaircraft.com/db/model/26010
and in all cases the field airline says 'UTAir'. So again, why do I not find UTAir when I search for UTAir (without any other search criteria beside the airline) ?
And after finding already so many cases, I guess there might be many more such cases in the db. Please check this.


Edit : now that interesting! When I click on the first link above, I get a result with 11 models, all of the above mentioned included! But in fact the link was modified by myself before I posted it here, because I cut of the secury token.
But when I select my search criteria and click on 'search' there's always a security token added to the URL and the search looks like this :
http://www.diecastmodelaircraft.com/...a63ef1ce852ad1
and the I really only get one model! I think the problem is the '+' in 'UTAir+&securitytoken=...' if I remove the plus it's fine.

Edit 2 : Seems the plus has nothing to do with the security token, but appears when I search 'UTAir'. The '+' is there instead of a blank. US Airways appears as 'airline=US+Airways' in the URL. So the solution is to remove a blank behind UTAir and check for other blanks behind Airline names, a/c types and so on, or generally modify the software to trim trailing blanks before searching, e.g. with trim_right() in SQL.

UTAir with the token only finds one airplane. But other airlines work fine with the token, including Alitalia. What makes the difference?
