Academy 1/48 F-111F tail bending


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Working on this kit is a challenge, fit is not really well but with some aftermarket pieces and good sanding a lot can be achieved.

 

Just a challenge on the tail: as you can see on the picture, it bends to left towards the top.

 

anyone any helpful advice how to correct this? Carefully heating and bending to the right until it’s straight?

If you can tape it to a flat surface like a board or similar in the correct position and then heat it with a hair dryer, let it cool it should straighten out.
