• Avoid dropping the model or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can cause breakage or paint chipping.
• Keep the model away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation or color fading.

5.1 Cleaning

• Dusting: Use a soft, dry brush (such as a makeup brush or a dedicated model cleaning brush) or a microfiber cloth to gently remove dust from the model's surface.
• Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, lightly dampen a soft cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the paint or decals.
