Maintenance and Care

  • Cleaning: To clean your model, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dust, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all pieces in a sealed container to prevent loss and protect them from dust and damage. Store in a cool, dry place.
  • Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the model to extreme temperatures or prolonged direct sunlight, as this can cause the plastic to warp or fade.

Troubleshooting

  • Difficulty Connecting Pieces: Ensure pieces are correctly oriented and aligned before applying gentle, even pressure. Avoid forcing pieces together, as this can cause damage.
