Care and Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your model kit:
- Cleaning: Dust the figures regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Handling: Handle the models carefully to prevent accidental breakage of small parts.
- Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation or discoloration.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during assembly or with the completed model:
- Parts Not Fitting: Ensure parts are oriented correctly. Apply gentle, even pressure. If a part is too tight, carefully trim excess plastic from the connection points using a hobby knife.
- Loose Connections: If parts are too loose, a small amount of hobby cement (sold separately) can be applied to secure them, though this is generally not required for snap-fit kits.
- Missing or Damaged Parts: Refer to the customer support section for assistance with missing or damaged components.
