Operating and Display
The JAKI Northern Cardinal Building Kit is designed as a decorative display piece. Once assembled, you can adjust the cardinal's poseable wings to create different dynamic forms.
Place the model on a flat, stable surface such as a desk, shelf, or mantelpiece. Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to preserve the integrity of the building blocks.
Maintenance
To clean your model, gently dust it with a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic.
If any parts become loose, carefully reattach them according to the assembly instructions.
