2. Setup
2.1 Unboxing
Carefully remove the model aircraft and its display stand from the packaging. Ensure all components are present and undamaged. The packaging is designed to protect the model during transit, so please handle it with care during removal.
2.2 Assembling the Display Stand
Your model includes a two-piece plastic display stand. To assemble:
- Identify the base and the support arm of the stand. The base is typically wider and may have the model name printed on it.
- Insert the support arm into the designated slot on the base. Ensure it is firmly seated.
- Locate the small hole on the underside of the aircraft fuselage.
- Gently align the peg on the top of the support arm with the hole on the aircraft's underside and press firmly until the model is securely attached.
Note: The display stand is made of plastic and should be handled with care to prevent breakage. If the stand becomes loose or breaks, a strong adhesive may be used for repair.

3. Operating the Model
This Daron Postage Stamp RAF Hurricane MK. II is a static display model. It is not designed as a toy for active play. The propeller is fixed and does not spin. Please avoid attempting to force the propeller to rotate, as this may cause damage.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your model, dust it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive moisture, which could damage the paint or decals.
4.2 Storage
Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause fading of paint and decals. Keep the model in its original packaging or a display case to protect it from dust and accidental damage.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Loose or Broken Stand
If the plastic display stand becomes loose or breaks, it can often be repaired using a strong, clear adhesive suitable for plastics. Apply a small amount of adhesive to the connection points and allow it to dry completely before re-displaying the model.
5.2 Damaged Propeller Blades
The propeller blades are delicate. If they become bent or break, careful handling is advised. Minor bends may be gently reshaped, but broken blades may require replacement or repair with a suitable adhesive. Avoid dropping the model to prevent such damage.
