i'm guessing this kit is finished now but can't you put the hull or the warped pieces in boiling hot water then clamp them to a flat sheet of plywood or something to get them back in shape ???

Hi Dave. It's not finished yet just put on hold until I get some group builds out the way,

Thanks for the tip but I don't think it's that bad, but will see when I get to that part of the build

i don't know if it works as i have not tried it before but i have seen and heard people using it. i know it works on bending wood coz i have done it

The warps in mine were inconsistent and in different directions so I would not have known where to start, I will build this one in the future.

I have one in my stash so i am going to take a good look at it for any warping.
