That looks wonderful. Some skilled work went into this i can see. One of the best ways to get rid of most of the dust is a paintbrush (household type rather than modelling type). Have a set of "bronzed" ww2 figures that are cying out for a dispkay case so have to resort to the brush more times than not. Happy Modelling

Another good way is to use a hairdryer. This can blow the dust of. Best not to use a high setting.

for cleaning your models I would recommend a good qulity puffer prush, such as this one. https://www.amazon.co.uk...URAGADGET/dp/B005NZ3FCM
I genraly use one of these and have the vacuum sucking the dust out of the air Note the cheap ones on ebay are rubbish and not worth having Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

I have the exact same model which spends its life hanging from the ceiling in a corner of the dining room. Like you I opted for the "bare bones" and did not attach the red covering. It seemed a shame to cover all the detailed work. I also have the same problem with cleaning ( SWMBO says its my model and my job to clean) I use an air duster and paint brush GilShapley attached the following image(s): Current Build:-
