Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your model, carefully remove it from the packaging using the provided base mounting points. Avoid touching the painted surface with bare hands for long periods, as natural skin oils can degrade the finish over time. For maintenance, use a soft, dry micro-fiber cloth to gently remove dust from the fairings and engine block. Keep the model away from direct sunlight, which may cause the plastic components to warp or the decals to yellow over many years of storage. Store in a climate-controlled area to maintain the integrity of the rubber tires.
