- Movement: The wheels are designed to roll manually. Do not force movement or apply excessive pressure.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your model kit.
- Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen a cloth with water (no harsh chemicals) and gently wipe.
