FAQs
What is the material composition of this model?
This model is constructed from a composite die-cast blend, utilizing a combination of high-quality metals and plastics to achieve fine detail and durability.
Are the doors and hood functional?
Yes, as an AUTOart model, it is engineered with functional features including opening doors and hood to reveal the engine bay and cabin details.
Is this model suitable for children under 14?
No, this is a highly detailed adult collector's piece with small, fragile parts and is not meant to be used as a toy.
Does it come with a display case?
The model is typically sold in window-box packaging. A dedicated acrylic display case is not included and must be purchased separately.
How should I store this if I am not displaying it?
Store it in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust on the interior seats or dashboard
Use a small, clean, soft-bristled artist brush to gently sweep dust out through the window openings.
Model is not sitting flat on the display surface
Ensure that no small debris has lodged itself into the tire treads or under the chassis, as the model's low clearance makes it sensitive to surface imperfections.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
When unboxing the AUTOart Mustang, it is recommended to use soft cotton gloves to prevent skin oils from affecting the paint finish. Avoid placing the model in direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV radiation can cause long-term paint fading or warping of plastic composite elements. To clean, use a gentle, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust from the body panels and wheels. If dust collects in the intricate grille or interior crevices, a soft-bristled makeup brush or camera lens blower can be used to dislodge debris without applying pressure that might break off fine scale accessories.
