Maintenance
To maintain the clear appearance and functionality of your Action Base 7:
- Clean the base and arm segments periodically with a soft, dry cloth.
- For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry immediately.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic.
- Store the base away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Action Base 7, consider the following:
- Parts not fitting: Ensure you are using the correct parts as per the assembly diagram. Do not force connections; gently align and press.
- Instability: Verify that all joints are securely connected. For heavier model kits, ensure the center of gravity is balanced over the base. The base is primarily designed for High Grade (HG) scale model kits.
- Difficulty detaching adapters: Some adapters may fit very snugly. Apply gentle, even pressure when detaching to avoid breakage. Avoid twisting forcefully.
