Reviews from Customers:
An excellent piece of software that helps me not only keep track of kits, aftermarket, references and paint,
but also where I have them stored... Customisable forms and filtering make searching simple. I wouldn't be without it now.
- John Laidlaw
A breeze to find information about your collection of kits, paints or references....
and the scary and important bit....
the value of your collection for insurance purposes
- David Atchinson
Gives you this great feeling - when you have all the tools in place on your working table...
and you feel you have also "all things in place" with your records. Thank you... Simply great.
- Alexander Benetashvili
Excellent program and version 2 is so much more flexible to use than version 1 was.
Highly recommended for all of us with large kit collections to manage.

Accessories with Kits
As with kits, you can record full details of the accessories in your collection.
Compatible accessories are easy to find via the filters.
As well as adding accessories that are stored separately, you can quickly add accessories that are stored with a kit.
When 'Add Accessory' is clicked the majority the fields are pre-filled from the associated kit.
Status Tracking
You can maintain lists of Wanted, Owned, Sold, Traded, Gifted and Scrapped kits and accessories.
Switching between lists is quick and easy using the navigation bar at the bottom left.
When you buy, sell, trade, give away or scrap a kit, simply change the status on the record to move the kit into a different list.
Attach Documents and Images
You can associate documents and images with your kits, for example photographs of box art or built kits.
Gallery
Attached images are automatically displayed in the kit's gallery, categorised according to the start of their file name (e.g. Box001).
You can simply click an image to pop up a full size preview and browse through the category.

Paints
Your paint stock and wish list can also be recorded. Fields are provided to enter the equivalent paint numbers for different manufacturers and schemes, so that you can easily substitute paints (e.g. Tamiya versus Mr Color).
References
You can also catalogue your magazines, books and web references. A list of each kit or subject can be made for each publication, so that you can look up relevant information for a particular kit or look up the location of the reference.
Free Trial with No Time Limit
You can try out KitBase for as long as you want. Some features are only available in the full version and number of records per table is limited.
