Suggested terminology:

Set - the whole box
Model - separate models in a set that have instructions in the booklet • (1,2,
or more)

Submodel - part of a model that is a separate entity (airplane, car,
building, boat, etc.)

The submodel and model are the same thing by your definition.  I agree with
keeping 'model' as the term for this and use submodel to replace component
in definition.

No.  I consider Model that you can build from the box following one of the
instructions in the booklet (the box may have alternate models)  while
submodels are smaller parts of that particular model. Usually submodels have
picture series numbered from 1 in the instructions.


Component - part of a model/submodel that is in separate file for • technical
reason

According to the filename convention. e.g

0 Set: 7140 X-Wing Fighter, First Model, Fighter, Left wing

No need to put 'first model' in there.  The other file eader would be:

0 Set: 7140 X-Wing Fighter, Service Vehicle

for the small hover service vehicle for the fighter.  Not:

0 Set: 7140 X-Wing Fighter, Second Model, Service Vehicle

Not necessary at all.

I dont't know that in that specific case 7140 has alternate model(s) or not.
If it doesn't than I aggree to omit the optional model description,
otherwise I don't.
