If exposed to direct sunlight and/or heat, wrinkels can appear. Storing the
model in a cool place will let the wrinkles disappear. Otherwise, remove
wrinkles in covering film with a hair dryer, starting with
low temperature. You can fix the corners by using a hot iron.
Bei Sonneneinstrahlung und/oder Wärme kann die Folie erschlaffen bzw. Falten

are the same (see picture below: A=A’).
