Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly dust the model with a soft, dry brush or cloth to prevent dust buildup. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the model in a stable environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity, which can cause material degradation or discoloration.
• Handling: Handle the model by its main body parts rather than delicate accessories or thin antennas to prevent breakage.

Troubleshooting

• Parts Not Fitting: If parts do not fit together smoothly, re-check the assembly instructions to ensure correct orientation and that no excess plastic (nubs) remains from the runners. Do not force parts.
• Loose Joints: If a joint becomes loose over time, a very small amount of clear nail polish or a similar non-corrosive coating can be applied to the joint peg and allowed to dry completely before reassembly. Apply sparingly.
• Missing or Damaged Parts: For issues with missing or damaged parts, please contact the retailer from whom the product was purchased or refer to the official BANDAI customer support channels.
