2. Safety Information
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD - This product contains small parts and is not suitable for children under 3 years of age. Adult supervision is recommended during assembly.

3. Setup and Assembly
Before beginning assembly, carefully unpack all components and verify that all parts are present according to the included parts list. Refer to the detailed assembly diagrams provided in the separate instruction booklet included in the box.
The kit is designed for snap-fit assembly, eliminating the need for glue. Ensure each piece is aligned correctly and gently pressed into place until it clicks or fits securely.

5. Maintenance
To maintain the appearance of your Godzilla model kit, follow these simple guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently dust the model regularly with a soft brush or a microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic or paint.
- Storage/Display: Display the model in a stable location away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Prolonged exposure to these conditions can cause discoloration or warping of the plastic.
- Handling: Handle the model carefully to avoid accidental drops or impacts, which could cause parts to detach or break.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any difficulties during assembly or display, consider the following:
- Parts Not Fitting: Double-check the instruction manual to ensure you are using the correct parts for each step and that they are oriented correctly. Sometimes, a gentle but firm press is needed for snap-fit parts. Avoid forcing parts, which can cause breakage.
- Loose Parts: If a part feels loose after assembly, ensure it is fully seated. If necessary, a small amount of plastic model cement (not included and not required for general assembly) can be used on non-visible joints for added stability, but this is generally not needed for BANDAI SPIRITS kits.
- Missing Parts: If you believe a part is missing, carefully re-check the runners and packaging. If a part is genuinely missing or damaged, please contact customer support.
