How to use

Place the Collecta Pteranodon on a flat, stable surface or within a diorama base appropriate to the scale.

Avoid exposure to prolonged direct sunlight and extremes of temperature to preserve paint and material integrity.

Usage recommendations

For display, position the figure on a low-contrast base to emphasise its form and shading. When using in educational settings, supplement the model with reference images or printed labels that explain species features and scale relationships. Clean gently with a soft brush or dry microfiber cloth; avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners.
