Condition guide

Describe the model and packaging separately

A clean model can have a worn box. Check both and describe scratches, paint chips, bent axles, missing parts, repairs and changes. Photograph the actual item and visible wear.

Factory models

Check casting, paint, wheels, moving parts and included accessories. Say whether packaging has been opened. Only describe an item as sealed, complete or mint when you have checked it.

Customs and parts

Explain modifications, materials and included pieces. Give scale, dimensions and known compatibility, and credit the maker accurately. A model shown with a part is not included unless the listing says so.

Made-to-order examples

Label example photographs and explain what may differ in the finished build. Agree scope, price, delivery and build time directly with the seller.
