- Includes a stable, dedicated stand for immediate display

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the model involves attaching it to the included base, which ensures the aircraft sits at an appropriate viewing angle. To maintain the model's condition, avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive cloths, as these may damage the livery or the finish of the metal. If cleaning is necessary, use a soft, dry microfibre cloth to gently remove dust from the wings and fuselage. Keep the model away from direct, intense sunlight to prevent fading of the specific naval markings and keep it in a stable environment to protect the fragile plastic antenna attachments.
