Troubleshooting
Missing or damaged brick
Verify if the piece was misplaced among packaging materials; contact Cobi customer support if a part is confirmed missing from the sealed kit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly begins by organizing the bricks in a clear, well-lit workspace to prevent the loss of small pieces. Follow the included manual strictly, as the model relies on specific brick placement to maintain structural integrity. Compatibility is high with standard Cobi construction sets, allowing for potential modifications if you are an experienced builder. To maintain the model, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the wings and fuselage. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can affect the finish of the plastic bricks.
