Of course. I don't succeed in highest durability either. But I usually get
bored with a model too soon to make revisions to the design. Detail is
always the first priority. On my models, the mirrors also fall off, as do
other parts, but usually in significant chunks so that it's easy to put back
togother. However, when handled, no special treatment is necessary.
