Troubleshooting
While die-cast models are generally robust, minor issues can occur. Here are some common concerns and solutions:
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Paint Chipping/Scratching | Rough handling, impact with hard surfaces, abrasive cleaning. | Handle with care. Avoid dropping or bumping the model. Use only soft cloths for cleaning. Minor chips may be touched up with model paint, but this is not officially recommended. |
| Loose or Broken Parts | Excessive force during play or handling, manufacturing defect. | For minor loose parts, a small amount of model-safe adhesive may be used. For significant breakage or manufacturing defects, contact Jazwares customer support. |
| Wheels Not Rolling Smoothly | Dust or debris in the axle, bent axle. | Gently clean around the wheels and axles with a soft brush. If an axle is bent, avoid forcing it; contact customer support if it significantly impacts functionality. |
