unfortuatly no,but when heated the sprue wouldn't pull evenly instead giving an uneven lumpy shape,i put it down to it being a low grade plastic in the kit
i have tried doing this over a candle/gas ring and by using a heat gun all with the same results,yes these are for the struts and undercarrage,i found a hobby shop near me selling clear plastic sheeting,although its a little thin i might be able to laminate it get the correct thickness,fingers crossed
