Troubleshooting
This section addresses common concerns regarding diecast models.
- Loose Parts: Due to the intricate nature of diecast models, small parts may occasionally become loose. If a part detaches, it can often be reattached using a small amount of model-safe adhesive. Handle with care.
- Dust Accumulation: If dust accumulates in hard-to-reach areas, use a soft brush or a can of compressed air to gently dislodge it.
- Paint Damage: Avoid rubbing the model vigorously or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the paint finish. Minor scuffs may sometimes be carefully touched up with model paint, but this is not recommended for beginners.
