The app automatically adds anything with status “Want to Buy” (kits, paints, and
chemistry) or “wanted” (accessories, books) — plus paints that are running low — to the shopping list — you never add things here twice by hand,
the app follows the item’s own status.
The list is split into four sections by type — Kits, Paints, Accessories, Books —
each with its own count. The Mark as bought button moves an item back into your stock (a kit
or paint goes to In Stock, an accessory or book becomes “owned”). For a paint, the app also offers
a purchase note (shop, price) — it suggests shops you’ve used before.
For a kit, the app also shows shop prices right there — pulled from Scalemates (flag, price,
availability), and after a while the app marks a price as stale on its own, so you’re not relying
on outdated numbers.
Quick-add is also available straight from the app’s header (four shortcuts — Kit/Paint/
Accessory/Book), and the shopping list can be filtered by category and paint status,
plus it has its own plain search. The filter panel also has Paints by model — a dropdown of models that
have at least one paint on the list; after picking a model the list shows only the paints it needs (and the
In an active model / In no active model chips). Under a paint card you can see how many models use it.
One difference from the main Paints view: the Buy/note buttons on a paint card only appear
here, in the Shopping list — on the main Paints tab, the app renders the same card without them.
Chemistry (glues, putties, masking, decals, cleaners) is in the Paints section with a type icon. The Filters panel has a Kind group (one Kind at a time) — once you pick one (say Glues), the app shows only that part of Paints and hides Kits and Accessories.

a purchase note (shop, price) — it suggests shops you’ve used before.
For a kit, the app also shows shop prices right there — pulled from Scalemates. The Prices
row under a kit says how many shops offer it and how many have it in stock, with the lowest price
from … on the right (counted only from in-stock offers, in the currency most offers use; if
nothing is in stock, the app says “out of stock”). Click the row to expand a list of shops with
price and availability. After a while the app marks a price as stale on its own, so you’re not
relying on outdated numbers.
On desktop Shopping is an overview in two columns (one on a narrower screen) — sections can be collapsed, and a row shows the
shop badge followed by the price from the note (when a number has no currency, the app adds your
Preferred currency from Settings — “1199” shows as “1199 Kč”, the stored text isn’t changed) and a
Mark as bought button (it turns green on hover, as confirmation of what the click will do). In the
shop filter, “no shop” doesn’t combine with a specific shop — turning one on turns the other off. The number at the top says how many items are to buy. The list is filtered in
the left-hand menu by type, paint status, and shop (the app takes the shop from the
note before the slash), and there’s search too. You can’t add items directly from Shopping on
desktop — they show up here once you set their status to Want to Buy.
Paints by model. The left-hand menu has a Paints by model group with a dropdown — it lists only
models that have at least one paint on the shopping list (a model with no paints, or whose paints you
already own, isn’t there). Pick one and the list shows only the paints that model needs — Kits and
Accessories are hidden; “All models” brings the list back. Next to it are the In an active model and
In no active model chips (active = a model that is neither finished nor scrap) — the second finds
paints you don’t need for any build. A paint row shows how many models it is used in.
