Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your model:

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft brush or compressed air. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
• Handling: Handle the model by its sturdy parts. Avoid excessive force on joints or thin components to prevent breakage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during assembly or operation, consider the following:

• Parts Not Fitting: Ensure you are using the correct parts for each step. Double-check the instruction diagrams. Sometimes, a small amount of plastic flash may need to be trimmed from the part.
• Loose Joints: If a joint feels too loose, a thin layer of clear nail polish or hobby cement applied to the ball joint (and allowed to dry) can increase friction.
• Missing Parts: If you believe a part is genuinely missing, please contact BANDAI SPIRITS customer support with your product details.
