Hi for everybody
How be able to do If one of the two parts of the kit comes or it's bent by effect of the exit of the mold in manufactures? What I have to make for the to amend that doubling of that piece?
I can to amend using hot water? or I have to deep the part of kit that is bent?

Thanks from Venezuela

You can try heating the part in hot water, perhaps clamping it beween two pieces of wood. If it's only one piece, like the upper half of a wing, you might try adding a spar to the other half of the part to strengthen that and glue the warped part a little at a time and allowing the glue to cure. If it's really badly warped, consider returning it to the store for a replacement of the kit or the sprue. A good hobby shop should accomodate that.
