@@johnsimmonsscalemodelling5270 Cheers for that. Yeah, I was thinking either hair dryer, hot water, or some kind of bracing. And yes, technically I have 10, but the oldest is super warped, so I will start test painting on that. A bunch of old MPC models seem to crop up on sites here in Japan for quite reasonable prices, although I am kicking myself that I just missed a Chronicles book for $100 :/
Looks totally fun
You should dive in mate and blow the dust off the modelling tools
Nice job, John. How did you deal with bent/warped wings? I have nine of these kits to make for friends, and most have quite warped wings.
Hey Matt, 9! Wow good luck. Yeah the wings are annoying, I actually wedged some styrene ones place on one of the wing bars.

@Matt French I know this is over a year old but just wanted to share that a hot hair dryer setting and persistent coaxing has worked miracles for me.
