Assembly (Setup)

1. Preparation: Unpack all components carefully. Identify each part by comparing it with the parts list or diagrams. Prepare a clean, well-lit workspace.

3. Interior Assembly: Assemble the interior components such as seats, dashboard, steering wheel, and any other cockpit details. Secure them to the interior tub.
4. Wheel Assembly: Mount the rubber tires onto the plastic wheel rims. Attach the assembled wheels to the axles on the chassis.
5. Engine/Underbody Details: If your kit includes engine or underbody details, assemble and attach them according to the instructions.

Display and Handling (Operating)

• Display Location: Place your finished model on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity to prevent damage or fading.
• Handling: Always handle the model by its main body or chassis. Avoid touching delicate parts like mirrors, antennas, or spoilers, as they can break easily.
• Not a Toy: This is a collector's model, not intended for rough play. Repeated handling or impact can cause parts to detach or break.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean your model, gently dust it with a soft, dry brush or a microfiber cloth. For stubborn dust, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture, especially on decals.
• Avoid Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the paint finish or plastic components.
• Storage: If storing the model, place it in a protective display case or box to prevent dust accumulation and accidental damage.

Troubleshooting

• Parts Not Fitting: If a part does not fit easily, do not force it. Double-check the instruction diagrams to ensure you have the correct part and orientation. Minor trimming with a hobby knife may be necessary for some plastic parts.
• Decals Not Adhering: Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Use a decal setting solution if available, or gently press the decal with a soft cloth to remove air bubbles and ensure full contact.
• Loose Parts: If parts become loose after assembly, a small amount of model-specific adhesive can be used to re-secure them.
