Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your build, ensure you have a clean, flat workspace with good lighting. Organize your bricks by size and color before starting to speed up the process. The COBI MIG-21 is fully compatible with standard building block systems, allowing you to incorporate custom aftermarket accessories if desired. To maintain the model, dust it periodically using a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air. Avoid using liquid cleaning agents or placing the model in direct, prolonged sunlight, as this can lead to sticker fading or plastic discoloration over time.
