- Stand Assembly: The model comes with a display stand. Gently attach the model to the stand. Ensure it is securely seated to prevent accidental falls.
- Placement: Place your model on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high-traffic areas to prevent damage.
Operating Instructions (Movable Parts)
Your Tebo fighter jet model features several movable parts for enhanced realism. Handle these parts gently to avoid damage.
- Cabin Lid: The cabin lid can be opened. Use a gentle touch to lift it.
- Movable Wings: The wings are designed to open and close. Carefully adjust them up or down as desired.
- Retractable Landing Gear: The landing gear can be retracted and extended. Follow the sequence shown in Figure 5 for proper operation.
- Built-in Stealth Bomb Bay: The main and auxiliary bomb compartments feature a one-button pop-up mechanism. Press the designated button to open them simultaneously.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe dust from the model. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the paint finish.
- Handling: Always handle the model by its main body or stand. Avoid gripping small, delicate parts like antennas or weapons, as they may break off.
- Storage: When not on display, store the model in its original packaging or a protective case to prevent dust accumulation and accidental damage.
Troubleshooting
- Loose Small Parts: Due to the nature of simulation metal models and potential transit impacts, small parts may occasionally become loose or detach. This is generally not a quality defect.
- Re-attaching Parts: For detached small parts, it is recommended to use a small amount of 502 glue (cyanoacrylate adhesive) to bond them back in place. Ensure proper alignment before applying glue.
- Minor Imperfections: Slight individual differences, small defects, thick clamping seams, minor paint defects, paint peeling, or scratches (no more than 3 places) are considered within the normal range for finished alloy models and do not constitute product quality problems.
