Automotive Model Buying Guide
Another member shared keyspot evaluation techniques for precision car models:
Feature | What to Look For |
---|---|
Panel Gaps | < 0.25mm consistency in photos |
Material Tags | Die-cast percentages (70%+ preferred) |
Interior Finish | Dashboard texture matches real vehicle |
Multiple collectors emphasized searching for "scaleproduction certification" indicators which verify manufacturing standards.
Smart Buying Practice:
Sort the imported spreadsheet by "newstock date" to avoid purchasing models that have spent months in uncontrolled warehouse conditions. High-end resin parts demand proper storage.
