Bad enough in 1:72, that'd be a nightmare in 1:32!

Not so bad if you don't screw it up, (like me)

Oh, I'm good at screwing things up, just ask my wife
Just saw your 262 nose... man, mine is child's play compared to what you're dealing with!

Cheers guys.
Tailplane warp fixed using Andy's water method.
Both were damaged a little (port more than stbd) by the clamps, but nothing some filling and sanding won't fix. Want to fine-tune the process though, should I need it in future.

Dzięki my friend. It would be interesting to try Vic and Don's hair dryer method too, to see which works best.

Nice Evan, you could have used a HOT iron, but though it be flat there might have been some other issues.

Yeah Don, I think each method has it's merits and trouble spots. It's pretty much 'six of one, half a dozen of the other'.
In this case, the metal clamps I used cut into the plastic, even before I heated it. I decided then to use a thin metal bar clamped with same said clamps, which resulted in a nice long indentation of the bar after heating...we live and learn...

No recent progress sorry, but some Horsa related memorabilia arrived.
Thinking of a way to maybe incorporate them as a backdrop to the model.

Just needs a little rescribing and polishing.
