2.2 Placement
Place the model on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. These conditions can cause material degradation or color fading over time. Ensure the display area is free from vibrations that could cause the model to fall.
3. Operating (Handling and Display)
This Bburago diecast model is a static display item and is not intended for active play. Its intricate details and delicate components require careful handling.
3.1 Handling Precautions
- Always handle the model by its main body, avoiding delicate parts such as wings, mirrors, or antennas.
- Avoid dropping or subjecting the model to impacts, as this can cause irreparable damage.
- Do not force movable parts, as they may not be designed for articulation.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and condition of your diecast model.
4.1 Cleaning
- Dusting: Use a soft, dry brush (such as a makeup brush or a dedicated model brush) or a microfiber cloth to gently remove dust from the surface.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, lightly dampen a microfiber cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the paint or decals.
- Ensure the model is completely dry before returning it to its display location.
4.2 Storage
If storing the model for an extended period, place it back in its original packaging or a protective display case to shield it from dust and potential damage.
5. Troubleshooting
While diecast models are generally robust, minor issues can occur.
5.1 Loose Parts
If a small plastic part becomes loose, it can often be reattached using a small amount of model-specific adhesive. Apply adhesive sparingly with a toothpick. Avoid using super glue on painted surfaces as it can cause discoloration.
5.2 Paint or Decal Damage
Minor scratches or decal lifting are generally difficult to repair without specialized tools and paints. For significant damage, consider consulting a professional model restorer.
