Setup, Compatibility & Care
To display the model, ensure it is placed on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight, which can fade the vibrant red paint over time. Since this is an Oxford Diecast model, it is compatible with most standard OO scale accessories. To clean the model, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a gentle dusting brush to avoid damaging the small mirrors or chassis components. Avoid using chemical cleaners or solvents as these may ruin the printed graphics.
