Troubleshooting

Model arrived with a detached small part

For minor detachments, a small amount of model-specific glue (e.g., plastic cement or super glue) can be carefully applied to reattach the part. For significant damage, contact the retailer for exchange or return options.

Paintwork appears smudged or dirty

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If a gentle wipe is insufficient, slightly dampen the cloth with water, ensuring no excess moisture, and try again. Avoid any chemical cleaners.

Model does not sit level

Check if the wheels are obstructed or if the surface it's placed on is uneven. Gently adjust the model or the surface. If there's a manufacturing defect causing unevenness, contact the retailer.
