How to use

Follow the included printed instruction booklet to assemble the model step by step, starting from foundation plates and building up the chassis, body panels, and exterior detailing. Sort and identify parts before beginning to streamline the process. Use gentle pressure to connect bricks securely and check subassemblies for correct alignment as you progress. After completion, place the finished model on a flat, stable surface for display and avoid exposure to direct sunlight and high humidity to preserve colors and component fit.

Usage recommendations

For best results, build on a clean, well-lit workspace and verify part counts against the inventory sheet. Keep small loose parts away from young children. If disassembling for storage or transport, separate larger subassemblies to reduce strain on small connection points.
