The Sifubuy Facebook communitySifubuy's spreadsheet system, helping newcomers navigate the complexities of international proxy purchasing for Japanese and Korean model kits.

Gundam Model Selection Strategies

Seasoned builders highlight three key factors when using Sifubuy's spreadsheet:

  • Production dates determine mold sharpness
  • Grade classifications (HG, MG, RG, PG)
  • Watch for special notation indicating color separation

Pro tip: The spreadsheet's Q&A column often reveals whether newer reprints fixed known issues from earlier productions.

Automotive Model Evaluation Approach

Scale model comparison on Sifubuy

Car model specialists emphasize different assessment criteria:

  1. Body material (diecast vs. resin) affects weight and detailing possibilities
  2. Authenticity grades (1:24 scale models show more textured surfaces than 1:43 counterparts)
  3. Clear part quality for headlight and window realism
