Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your COBI Citroen 2CV Charleston model, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: Gently dust the model regularly with a soft brush or cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture.

• Loose Connections: Ensure all blocks are pressed firmly together. COBI blocks are designed for a secure fit, but sometimes extra pressure is needed.
• Assembly Errors: If a section of the model does not look correct or fit properly, carefully retrace your steps in the instruction manual. Disassemble the problematic section and reassemble it, paying close attention to the illustrations.
