6. User Tips
- Always work in a well-lit area with a clean surface to prevent losing small parts.
- Use appropriate tools (e.g., hobby nippers, tweezers) for precise assembly and to avoid stress marks on plastic parts.
- Take your time during assembly; rushing can lead to errors or damaged components.
- Keep the instruction manual handy for reference throughout the building process.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during assembly or with the completed model, consider the following:
- Loose Parts: If parts are loose, ensure they are fully snapped into place. A small amount of plastic cement (sold separately) can be used for permanent connections on non-articulated parts, but use sparingly.
- Missing Parts: Double-check the packaging and your workspace. If a part is genuinely missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer for assistance.
- Difficulty Posing: Ensure joints are correctly assembled and not obstructed. Some joints may require gentle force to move initially.
8. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Dust your model regularly with a soft brush or compressed air to maintain its appearance. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
- Handling: Handle the model carefully, especially articulated joints, to prevent breakage.
9. Warranty and Support
For any questions, concerns, or support regarding your Bandai Gundam Model Kit, please contact the retailer where you purchased the product. Keep your proof of purchase for warranty claims, if applicable.
