5. Care and Maintenance

To preserve the detail and condition of your model, follow these care guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush to gently remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the paint and plastic components.
• Handling: Always handle the model by its main body. Avoid gripping small, delicate parts like mirrors, antennas, or railings, as they are fragile and can break easily.
• Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation.

6. Troubleshooting

This model is designed for static display. Should you encounter any issues, consider the following:

• Header Detachment: If the header detaches unexpectedly, gently re-align and re-attach it as described in the "Setup" section. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
• Stiff Moving Parts: If a movable part (e.g., ladder, door, reel) feels stiff, do not force it. Inspect for any obstructions or misalignment. Gentle manipulation should be sufficient; excessive force can cause breakage.
• Loose Components: Due to the high detail, some small components may become loose over time. If a part detaches, it may be re-attached using a small amount of model-safe adhesive, if appropriate.
