Maintenance
To keep your CaDA Initial D AE86 model in optimal condition and preserve its appearance:
- Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. For more thorough cleaning, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth and then dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

- Handling: Handle the model carefully to avoid accidental disassembly or damage to delicate parts.
Troubleshooting
While the CaDA building sets are designed for quality, occasional issues may arise. Here are some common concerns and their resolutions:
