Troubleshooting
Model arrives with a detached part (e.g., gun turret, antenna)
If the part is cleanly detached, a small amount of model cement or super glue can be used for reattachment. Apply sparingly to the contact point. If the damage is significant or the part is broken, contact Eaglemoss customer support for potential replacement options.
Paint appears chipped or inconsistent
Minor imperfections may occur due to the hand-painting process. For significant flaws, contact Eaglemoss customer support. Avoid attempting touch-ups yourself unless you have experience with model painting, as it could void warranty or further damage the model.
Display stand does not fit securely
Ensure the correct slot on the model is aligned with the peg on the stand. Check for any debris in the slot or on the peg. If the fit remains loose, contact customer support.
