6. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry brush or cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the model away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
• Handling: Handle the model by its main body parts rather than delicate accessories or thin limbs to avoid breakage.

7. Troubleshooting

• Loose Joints: If a joint becomes too loose, you can try applying a thin layer of clear nail polish or a specialized joint-tightening fluid to the ball joint or peg, allowing it to dry before reassembling.
• Parts Not Fitting: Ensure you have the correct parts for each step. If a part is too tight, gently trim excess plastic or lightly sand the connection point. Do not force parts together.
• Broken Parts: In case of breakage during assembly, plastic cement designed for model kits can be used for repairs. For significant damage, replacement parts may be needed (contact support if available).
