Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your model kit.

• Be especially careful when cleaning parts with the Real Metallic Gloss Injection finish to prevent scratching.

• If storing for extended periods, consider a display case to protect against dust and accidental damage.

4.3. Obsługa

• When posing, apply gentle, even pressure to joints. Do not force movement beyond its natural range.

5. Rozwiązywanie Problemów

Oto rozwiązania typowych problemów, z którymi możesz się spotkać:

• Luźne stawy: If a joint feels too loose, you can apply a thin layer of clear nail polish or a specialized hobby joint-tightening solution to the peg and let it dry before reassembling.
• Części nie pasujące: Ensure you are using the correct parts for each step. If a part is too tight, carefully trim any excess plastic (nubs) with a hobby knife. Do not force parts together, as this can cause breakage.
• Złamane części: For minor breaks, plastic cement designed for model kits can be used. For significant damage, replacement parts may be available from the manufacturer or hobby retailers.
• Stickers/Decals Not Adhering: Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Use tweezers for precise placement and a cotton swab to gently press down and remove air bubbles.
