Maintenance and Care
To preserve the appearance and functionality of your die-cast model, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the model. For stubborn dust, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the paint finish.
- Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause paint fading.
- Handling: Always handle the model by its main body. Avoid gripping delicate parts such as mirrors, antennas, or spoilers, as these can break easily.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your model, consider the following:
- Stiff Moving Parts: If doors, hood, or engine cover feel stiff, apply very gentle, consistent pressure. Do not force them open or closed. Avoid applying lubricants, as they may damage the plastic or paint.
- Loose Parts: Due to the intricate nature of die-cast models, small parts may occasionally become loose. If a part detaches, it can often be reattached using a small amount of model-safe adhesive. Ensure the adhesive is suitable for both metal and plastic.
- Paint Imperfections: Minor paint imperfections are rare but can occur during manufacturing. These are typically cosmetic and do not affect the model's functionality.
