Display Recommendations: Use a dust-free environment such as an enclosed display case to protect the fine decals from long-term wear.
Care Instructions: To clean, use a soft, dry microfibre cloth to gently remove dust from the bodywork. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents, solvents, or water, as these can damage the paint finish and peel the sponsor decals.
Handling: Always handle the model by the base or bodywork edges to prevent skin oils from leaving marks on the glossy paint. Do not attempt to force any parts of the model to move, as it is a static display piece.
