Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and appearance of your model kit.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush to gently remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the plastic or painted surfaces.
• Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent discoloration or warping.
• Handling: When moving or posing the figure, hold it by the main body rather than by delicate parts or accessories to prevent breakage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during assembly or with the finished model, refer to these common solutions.

• Loose Parts: If a part feels loose, gently press it firmly into place. For persistent looseness, a small amount of clear hobby cement (not included) can be applied to the inner surface of the joint, allowing it to dry completely before reassembly.
• Parts Not Fitting: Ensure you are using the correct parts for the section you are assembling. Refer to the instruction manual's diagrams. Sometimes, a small amount of plastic flash may prevent a perfect fit; carefully trim it with a hobby knife.
• Broken Parts: If a part breaks, attempt to reattach it using plastic cement designed for model kits. For significant damage or missing parts, contact Bandai Spirits customer support.
