I purchased the completed product, so I'm not sure about the construction process, but I believe it was made with care. I think there are no noticeable scratches or stains, but there might be oversights. Please check the condition in the images, and if you are concerned about scratches or stains from storage, please refrain from purchasing. I will do my best to pack it carefully, but as it is fragile, please repair any damage during shipping yourself. GUNDAM ARTIFACT Artifact Model Miniature Gunpla Candy Toy
